Even though spring is not officially here in Southeastern Arizona, the temperatures are rising a bit each day and the trees and flowers are starting to bud. When they are in full bloom it is a wonderful site to see! Until that time comes I will just have to make do with some lovely flowers created with another of my favorite Tonic dies.
Instructions:
- Cut and score the black card stock to create a 4 ¼ x 5 ½” card.
- Use on of the rectangle layering dies to cut the opening in the front of the card.
- Die cut the honeycomb screen several times to create the insert.
- Attach the honeycomb insert and ivory backing piece to the inside front of the card
- Die cut numerous leaves from the olive paper.
- Die cut several each of all the flower shapes from cream paper.
- Punch flower stamens from scraps of black cardstock.
- Add shape to the flower petals and leaves with the Floral Crafters tools.
- Apply glue with the Nuvo pen to the tips of the stamens, sprinkle with charcoal glitter
- Repeat adding olive green glitter to the leaves and Diamond glitter to the edges of the flower petals. (Note: always return the excess glitter to the bottle.)
- Layer and assemble the flowers. Attach the leaves and flowers to the upper left side of the card.
- Stamp the word with black pigment ink onto a scrap of cream paper.
- Sprinkle with Jet Black embossing powder and heat set to emboss.
- Layer the stamped piece onto a scrap of black cardstock and attach to the lower right of the honeycomb insert with tiny pieces of form tape.
