Hello creative friends! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by to see some inspiration using the new, Larkspur Build-a-Flower stamp set from Altenew!
This stunning set has so many possibilites; from being used as an outline image for coloring, or as a layering set, you can get many looks from this single set. And speaking of looks, I’ll be sharing a loose, textured watercolor effect that I created with the stamps in this Larkspur set!

I used Prima Watercolors to color in the florals, and added a sentiment that is also from the Larkspur stamp set. I feel that seeing is easier than reading, so I’m saving all the details about this card in the video. I hope you will watch it to to see how everything came together!
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll see you again very soon!

Great tutorial and beautiful bright and cheerful card. Your flowers came out gorgeous!
I’m behind on my emails. Hope you haven’t chosen a winner yet! This card is totally luscious! So pretty.
Such a beautiful card! The style and technique you used is absolutely stunning!
That’s a lovely card!! I love the watercolor effect!
I love your color choice for this card and what a unique way to use these stamps! You are definitely an artist!
Such a beautiful card, with you talented water coloring! The colors are just gorgeous and so realistic! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Your colors on your Larkspur flowers are so vibrant and remind me of a tiger! So bold and beautiful! Very elegant too. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

Beautiful card Nina! Love the water color with the layered stamp!
Beautiful card in classic Nina style! Wonderfully vibrant and beautifully colored.
I love how bold you are with colors. I’ve gotten so scared of making mud that I tend to be very conservative with my color choices; I wouldn’t have thought to do bright splashy oranges with those greens, but I love how yours turned out. That is definitely today’s lesson: be bold with colors! Thanks for sharing your card and your process with us. It helps me to be able to have a bit of a roadmap as I try to venture into crafty parts unknown. :D
Just stunning! They look like Tiger Lilies to me!
Beautiful! What gorgeous masking, it’s such a full and rich looking bunch of florals!
Pretty colors and I like the loose watercoloring.
Oh beautiful coloring
and stamping on your

Beautiful! I love the look of your watercoloring. When I try this it looks like I spilled paint on my card.
Beautiful! I love the look of your watercoloring. When I do this it just looks like a spilled paint on my card.
This card turned out beautifully. Wasn’t quite sure at first, but the loose watercoloring and texture methods with dry brush strokes and pop up die cuts made this card a wow for sure. I love this larkspur BAF. Just gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Utterly beautiful, the colours lie so lovely on each other and so much texture with the way you used the brush and inks. Thank you for the idea and the extra later build up too.x

Thank you for showing that colouring outside the lines is perfectly okay! Great idea and lovely card.

There are some great ideas for adding dimension in your tutorial. at least 3 things I’ve never really considered. can’t wait to try them out.
Your cards are lovely.
Nina-Marie, this is such a lovey card. The coloring is stunning and I like that subtle frame you’ve added. tfs

I’m not very good at watercolor but I just might be able to do this! Thanks for sharing!
Love the tropical look of your card! Gorgeous flowers and colors.
I do love this stamp set and am, also, a fan of using the flower outlines and wateroloring the designs – at times. This card is beautiful and I appreciate your tips and techniques.
Great color choices Nina!
