I love seeing the new Craft-a-flower layering die from Altenew each month as it has really inspired me to create a mixed media canvas with the floral dies and then also use this as inspiration for a card. This month’s Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily is just as stunning and I love this style of lilies!
With the Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily, I created several easy-to-make acrylic panels to die-cut from and then use this to build up my floral. This was such a fun and quick way to make bold and vibrant flowers in no time! Remember this is part of a blog hop & giveaway so hop along for plenty of inspiration using this die!
You should have arrived here from the fantastic Keren Baker. You can always start at the beginning of the hop over at the Altenew Card Blog here.

Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily - die-cutting with acrylic paints
To start, I applied blobs of acrylic paint around the canvas, with lighter colors towards the middle. Using a stencil brush from the DIY store, I started to blend these together. When blending go from light to dark and ensure the brush is dry – do not add water. Set this to one side to dry.
Colours used:
- Titanium White
- Paynes Grey
- Ultramarine
- Deep Violet
- Dioxazine Purple
To create the panels to die-cut the Lily out of, add blobs of paint onto watercolour or heavyweight cardstock. Using a flat brush, blend the colours together haphazardly to give a bit of texture. Create a pink, yellow, and green panel.
Colours used:
- Light Portrait Pink
- Quinacridone Magenta
- Medium Magenta
- Primary Yellow
- Cadmium yellow Deep Hue
- Cadmium Orange Hue
- Light Green Permanent
- Hookers Green Permanent
Once the acrylic panels are dry, use the Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily to die-cut the various layers from each of the colors. Adhere layers together with liquid adhesive and add a scrap of black card behind the yellow layer.
Add some paint splatters in white and gold to the canvas before foam mount the florals on top with varying depths of dimension. To finish the canvas off, add a heat embossed sentiment from the Altenew Blossom Wreath stamp set.
Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily - creating a card from the canvas
This card was inspired by the canvas. To create the background, ink blend distress oxide inks with an ink blending tool onto white card stock. The colours used in the following order:
Using the Altenew Metallic Watercolour 14 pan set, add metallic splatter to the background panel. Trim this down and add to a white card base.
Again, the flowers and leaves for the Craft-a-flower: Peruvian Lily was created out of the same acrylic panels, but alternatively, you can use distress oxides of other ink pads to colour the layering die-cuts. Again foam mount this onto the front for depth and dimension.
The card was finished with the same heat embossed sentiment and a few White Nuvo Crystal drops.

So pretty!
Darn, your background is outshining the flowers!
Since I am very good at layering in general but I find Altenew’s Flower Builder layering stamps and dies super easy to use. I am now able to make amazing cards. Thank you Altenew!
The background makes the lilies pop!
