craft-a-flower die

Welcome to my blog, my crafty friends! If you just came from my friend, Colleen Balija, then you’re on the right track. For the full blog hop list, please visit the Altenew Card Blog. Take a look at this beautiful Craft-a- Flower: Dendrobium Orchid!!!

Here are two cards that I made using this layering die set.

SENDING HEALING HUGS

1. Create different watercolor washes of increasing intensity for the different layers of the flowers, stems and leaves using Fabriano waterolor paper.
2. Die cut the different parts of the orchids, leaves and stems and layer on top of each other with adhesive. Add streaks to mimick veins of petals.
3. Emboss letterpress paper using the Deck Planks 3D embossing folder and add color and shade using watercolor.
4. Create a debossed card panel using the Dotted Starbust Debossing cover die.
5. Stamp and emboss the sentiment on black cardstock.
6. Assemble the card using foam squares and adhesive.

I love creating floral arrangements so I enjoyed making this card. The embossing folder gave some texture to the vase.
