December sure came around super quickly with the Thanksgiving holidays at the end of the month! A new first of the month means a new Altenew Build-a-Flower and this month we are featuring the Stargazer. Working with the Stargazer got me wishing I was on the beaches of Hawaii and bathing in the warm sun!
I started by stamping the layered Stargazer flower in Altenew inks Blush, Rouge, Velvet, and Crimson. The leaves are stamped in Firely, Green Field, and Shadow Creek. Once finished stamping, I used the coordinating dies to die cut each of the images out.
For the background, I ink blended Festive Berries, Dried Marigold and Antique Linen distress oxide inks over a Beach Towel Stripes Stencil from the top and bottom edges inward.
I made my floral arrangement in the center of the card. Adding some pieces directly onto the background and some with foam tape to give it a varied dimension.
The sentiment is from this stamp set as well and heat embossed in white onto kraft card stock. I trimmed it down to a thin strip and added it across the center of the card.

Stargazers are one of my favorite flowers (how can you pick just one favorite?), and we had them in our yard in Seattle. Sadly, I am in Texas now and they don’t do so well here. This stamp set will let me keep them with me here in the Texas heat!
Beautiful card! I love the colors you chose and the stunning detail of the flower.
Hi Keeway 🙂 Love the way you used that stencil in the background and this BAF: Stargazer is amazing and so is your card!!! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
Such a lovely card! I fall for pink every time! So balanced.
