Happy new year! Today I am back with a fun technique turning stamped flowers from flat to 3d flowers. When you stamp your flowers they are flat and you can add dimension by coloring and shading but why not turning them into a really dimensionl focal point with this fun technique? It applies in any flower stamps you already have in your stash and it can give you one more idea on how to use them. I am going to demonstare the technique in the video showcasing new flower stamps from the latest Altenew release.

This blog post is also part of a blog hop as we celebrate the new release and we share lots of inspiration and giveaways. So make sure to hop along wth us!
