Flowers Are The Music Of Life

Hello bloggers I hope you are well.  Today I have a card using die cut flowers.

The card began as a 6x6 white card blank.  First I added a Paper Mania pink/purple patterned paper to the front of the card.  Next I used Creative Expressions 'button floral' stamp set and dusty concord distress ink to stamp the sentiment in the top left of the card.  Next using a butterfly patterned paper from my stash I used Spellbinders 'spiral blossom 2,3 and 4 to die cut all the flowers out.  Once die cut I used a quilling tool to spiral the flowers up and then adhered them into place.  Finally the flowers were adhered to the right bottom corner of the card.

Flowers Are The Music Of Life ~ Real Flower Pressed Japanese Anemone Flower

Hello bloggers I hope you are well and had a good start to the week, I know I did.  Today I have taken a break from the Christmas card with this flower card.  This flower is from my garden and I picked it last year and pressed it, forgetting all about it until today.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I used Cameo Crafts Designs 'gardener's delight' CD-ROM to print the flower pot design onto the white card stock.  This was cut and scored to make a 7x5 card blank.  Next using a butterfly patterned paper and Spellbinders 'grand scallop circles' die set I cut a mat for the flower.  The mat was adhered to the card blank.  Next I adhere the Japanese Anemone flower to the mat.  I stamped the sentiment using dusty concord distress ink onto the same patterned paper I used for the mat.  The stamp set used was Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set.  Finally the sentiment was cut out using a circle punch before being adhered at the bottom of the card.
