Dimensional One-Layer Build-A-Flower: Primrose

Use Altenew Build-A-Flower: Primrose for more than layer stamping. Here, I used the outline images to create a simple one-layer card.

Add Dimension to One-Layer Cards

After masking a quick border with Post-It tape, I stamped three Build-A-Flower: Primrose blooms. Coordinating dies come with all Build-A-Flower sets. I used the dies to cut three primrose mask.

Once the masks were in place, I ink blended Caribbean Sky Crisp Dye Ink over Watercolor Stripes Stencil. Rather than using Neenah Classic Crest, I opted for Savoy 100% Cotton Letterpress paper.

This paper ink blends beautifully creating a soft airbrushed look. In addition, since it’s 100% cotton it holds water well too. This makes it great for ink smooching and light watercolor projects.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Primrose & Watercolor Stripes Stencil

Now for that dimension, I talked about! I added a drop shadow with a regular pencil and tortillon (paper stump). Add a thin line of graphite and then blend lightly with the tortillon.

Shading under the blue stripes and around the primroses pops them up while recessing the white stripes.

Apothecary Label & Build-A-Flower: Primrose

Apothecary Label Stamp Set is a great set for a bit of simple masking. I started by stamping one of the label images with Pink Diamond Crisp Dye Ink.

Add Dimension to One-Layer Cards

Next, I masked the image and stamped several Build-A-Flower: Primrose blooms around the label with Obsidian Pigment Ink. Two to three flower masks are enough to get the job done.

Apothecary Labels & Build-A-Flower: Primrose Stamp Sets

Lastly, I shaded all around the Apothecary Label to bring the label forward and recess the primroses. And that’s a wrap, it’s as simple as that! Let me know what you think. Supplies, the next stop, and prize information are below. Thanks for stopping by!

    Such a good video with clear instructions Amber. I really like the first card with the stencilled stripes over to in blue. So pretty with the pop of colour in the centres.

    Very pretty. I love the use of the flower outline stamps. And the shading does give great dimension to the flowers and label.

    I enjoy the simplicity of framing a label with a stamp image.

    Amber, I am a huge fan! I can’t wait to try this technique! I just bought some graphite pencils and haven’t even used them yet. That will change today! Thank you for sharing these beautiful cards and teaching me something new (to me)

    I could not believe this was only one layer! You created such dimension with the shadow lines.
    The color combination is so fresh . . . blue with yellow primroses.

    Thanks for the video showing how you created the one layer cards with all the dimension. Like both cards. but the one with the stripes really jumps out at me. I will have to try that technique.

    Wow! What a great and beautiful look for these cards. I thought the stripes were created with the watercolor stripes die and was surprised to find they were stenciled. I’ve heard of the Savoy cotton paper and may want to try it too!

    I love your techniques. It does appear that the stripes are deeply below the flowers. So cool.
