About this class

From blank cardstock to dimensional florals

This is the complete, step-by-step path to creating the layered floral cards Altenew is known for. You'll move from confident ink blending to sculpted, dimensional flowers — and learn the composition and color choices that make a handmade card look truly finished.

What you'll learn

  • Build smooth, vibrant ink-blended backgrounds with no streaks
  • Balance color theory using jewel-tone palettes
  • Compose focal clusters that guide the eye
  • Layer die-cut florals for true dimension and depth
  • Add heat embossing, gold foil, and fine detailing
  • Photograph and style your finished cards like a pro
