Hello and welcome everyone! I'm super delighted this morning to be a guest designer for the latest addition to Altenew's popular monthly Build a Flower release - this month featuring the beautiful Morning Glory.
In addition to giveaways featured on the Altenew Card Blog and Altenew Scrapbook Blog, Altenew has provided a separate giveaway for one of my readers, yay! :)
Now a little bit info about this beautiful set:
The Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory set includes 1 6x8 stamp set (21 stamp images) and 1coordinating die set (3 dies).
This set contains two beautiful multi-layered morning glories along with leaves and vines. Morning glories produce typical funnel-shaped blossoms in white, red, blue, purple, and yellow. You may stamp these flowers in any of the Altenew ink colors to get great results! It comes in the Morning Glory Bundle with inks as well.
This special product is only sold as a set, not individually.
Today, I've got 3 cards to share with you all.
For the first card, I only used the second layer of the flower to stamp. For more details on the three focal flowers, I used my Polychromos color pencils to add depth and a bit of a pop. I used Altenew ink in Peach Perfect, Coral Berry, Minty Mint and Hunter Green along with some other inks.
For the second card, I went for more of a bold and graphic look using watercolors. This time, I only used the outline layer stamps. Adding some Prima watercolors afterwards, I love how this loose coloring effect turned out.
For my last card, I used all the stamp layers and went for a no-line water color effect. After coloring, I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies and adhered it to my base layer. In combination with the watercolor background, I love the artsy feel of this card. I also used the Creative Edges: Lace die for this card.
Prizes:

All are beautiful Isha!! I adore the second BOLD one most:)))
OMG Isha...your passion for color really shines in these 3 cards. They are stunning! Thanks for sharing your inspiration and talent.
These Morning Glory cards are so beautiful, thanks for sharing how versatile this set is using one, two or all three layers! I love the watercolor techniques and the colored pencil for the details is excellent as well.
Such pretty cards using the new Morning Glory stamps!
They sure made a good choice having you spotlight these beautiful stamps. I'm smitten with the rainbowed version!
Don't you just love morning glories? The first 2 cards that look like watercolor are stunning!
Love all of the different techniques that you used to color the flowers. My favorite is the watercolor. Thanks for the inspiration
Oh my your coloring is just amazing - LOVE how different the flowers are!!!!
I am amazed by the different effects you got from one stamp set! I can't choose a favorite. I like them all!

Lovely cards. I really appreciate you showing us so many variations for the colouring.
So pretty! I wondered how it would look without all the layers. I think that one might be my favorite of all.

Your cards are just like seeing morning glories in person.... such spectacular colors! These are amazing! My favorite B-A-F set yet!
great work Isha - love all three cards but my preference is the second one with the graphic style - would love to see how you achieved that technique - now I need to check if you have a YT channel - :)
Your cards are the best in this hop, there are amazing, so beautiful!!!
Wow, absolutely stunning cards Isha!
Beautiful, Isha! I love all the different ways you used the stamp set and layers. All three of your cards are lovely, but the second card with the loose watercoloring is my favorite! Thanks for sharing these today!
Gorgeous cards. Love the boldness of the second card. This is a great set from the Build-a-flower series.
Cute cards! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful creations, I especially love the no line watercolor in the last card!
Isha, Isha, Isha! Your flowers are mind blowing! The third card has such gorgeous coloring! They seem to be glowing from within! The second card is almost as amazing as the third one! Almost but just not quite! TFS !
All of your cards are gorgeous! Each one is so different from the last! I think if I had to chose I would pick the last one that you added the watercolor effect to. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is another gorgeous layering flower with beautiful details. Love your card designs. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wonderful you shared your variety with us. Beautiful!
Love the watercolor effects on your morning glory cards. These are so lovely. tfs
Very pretty. I like the different looks you achieved.

All of these are such fabulous looks; I love the alternate perspective you took with making these. I think my favorite is the graphic look with just the outlines (possibly because I have had issues making that look when I've tried). What a fantastic idea! I will have to try it again, because it's so fun. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas with us!
These are all beautiful Isha, I especially love the background on the first one, the focal images look amazing against it. WOW! So beautiful!
So gorgeous! Your second card is stunning with the mix of colors and the watercolor look. I wouldn't have thought to use just the outline layer...brilliant. It turned out so beautiful!!
Gorgeous cards - love this new set.
Beautiful cards...
I LOVE the artistry of your cards. Your take on the Morning Glory really adds some depth and dimension to these flowers. THANK YOU for sharing!
Wow Isha, your 3 cards are amazing! Love your choice of colours too. I would have loved to see a video of the making of. Hugs, Gwendolyn
