Welcome to my blog, everyone! Thanks so much, Linda Parker, for sending everybody over. For the complete list, head on to the Altenew Blog. Take a look at the Craft-A-Flower: Primrose Blossom Layering Die Set.
I created 2 cards using these layering dies–one is overflowing with flowers while the other one I kept simple. (Actually, I had a few leftover flowers and I didn’t want them to go to waste 🙂
YOU ARE SO LOVED
- Emboss craft paper using the Deck Planks 3D embossing folder.
- Cut the paper into strips and create a paper weaving basket.
- Watercolor sheets of paper in different coordinating colors for the different layers of the flowers and leaves and assemble.
- Watercolor the background.
- Destress the edges.
- Stamp and emboss the sentiment.
- Assemble the card.
I wanted to have a basket filled with flowers but didn’t have a die for it so I just created my own basket weave. Before cutting up the strips, I embossed the paper using the Deck Planks 3D embossing folder for added texture to the paper.
I added tissue paper behind the basket and the flowers to give more dimension to the arrangement. I also added some die cuts using the Branches and Berries Die to make the arrangement look fuller. Instead of using an assortment of cardstock, I chose to use watercolor. This will add more variation to the petals and leaves.
I miss making flower arrangements!!! Hopefully, someday, I can go back to arranging real flowers again.
STAY STRONG
- Watercolor the base of the card.
- Die cut white cardstock using the Linear Crossroads die.
- Adhere leftover flowers and leaves.
- Stamp and emboss the sentiment.
- Assemble the card.
This was an easy card to make since all the fussy work was already done. Use precision tweezers for adhering the tiny parts of the flowers.
