Good morning all! Welcome to the Craft-A-Flower blog hop from Altenew for March! This month the floral is a beautiful Antique Rose. It’s a gorgeous large bloom, and super simple to put together to create an amazing 3D looking rose.
Today’s hop starts over on the Altenew blog, and all of the hops on the stop can be found at the end of this post, as well as details of a giveaway.
I created my my card by die cutting the Antique Rose twice using card scraps from my scrap drawer. Craft-A-Flowers are perfect for using up scraps (including white cardstock scraps that you can ink up!). I also die cut several of the leaf layers to create three layered leaves and three of the plain leaves. You’ll see those have an outline that doesn’t cut – you can actually use it to either stencil detail onto the leaves or dry emboss like I did. Simply die cut first, then run leave the die cut in the die and run through with an embossing mat instead of a plate.
My background is a panel of Spicy Yoghurt cardstock, dry embossed with the Rows of Squares embossing folder. I mounted the leaves and roses with different layers of foam squares for dimension onto the dry embossed panel and then splattered it with Frosty Pink Metallic Shimmer Ink Spray. The sentiment is from the Block Sentiment set, stamped in Obsidian ink, and trimmed out. I scattered a few pink sequins to finish.

This is so lovely!
Beautiful bright pink rose, love it.
Wonderful color choices!
Wow!!! Soooo Beautiful!!!
So pretty! All the details really shine. Thank you for the inspiration.
Nice color layers and use of the embossing.
Those dark pinks would make my little 3 year old granddaughter SQUEAL with delight. These are gorgeous and happy roses.
I like the splatter finishing! This past month has been the start of my obsession with floral cards… and you are definitely feeding my obsession! 🌸 🌺 For that I thank you. 😁😆
It is amazing how a different colour combination makes the layering rose die set look different and new. Lovely.
Beautiful card
Such an amazing layering flower die set from Altenew. All their layering flower die sets are amazing, but this one beats them all!
The new CAF die set is beautiful! This is probably the most realistic flower in this series! And the inspiration card looks amazing! I really love the beautiful colors.
Lovely roses using your scraps, I certainly have enough of those.
Abundance (two roses) and detail (those leaves). I love it. You are very talented and I appreciate your sharing some great effort for me to copy 🙂 !
Beautiful card! Love your background!!
The embossed squares are a really dramatic backdrop for the blooms. Geometric sharp edges and soft organic blooms; it makes me think of opposites attract. This is a fun card.
