Lupine


Another new Garden Notes die set was used to design this card - Lupine/Bluebonnet.  

This is a 6-inch card.  Cut a piece of white card stock 5 1/2 inch square.  Use Oxide Distress Ink Sprays and lightly spritz Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet on this square, to create a speckled background.  Dry with heat tool and attach to the front of the card.

Use the Garden Notes Wooden Fruit Crate die set for the container for the flowers.  Die cut two crates and glue together.  Color with markers or inks.  I sponged Distress Oxide Tea Dye and Walnut on the die cut.  Use a piece of Cafe au Lait cardstock and cut a piece to layer behind the crate.  Glue the crate to the background.  Attach to the bottom of the card.

Use the Garden Notes Lupine/Bluebonnet die set and create one purple and one pink Lupine. Use the Flower Tool Kit to shape the flowers and Kids Choice Glue to assemble. Attach the flowers in the crate.  Attach the leaves at the base of the flowers.  

Use the Garden Notes Forsythia die set and create one stem of flowers.  Attach between the Lupine.

Use the Garden Notes Pansy die set and create 6 violets.  Color with markers.  Shape with the Flower Tool Kit.  Add a Yellow Prill in the center of each flower.  

Use the Corners 1 die set and die cut two white, and four Lavender corners.  Glue two lavender corners over a white corner, for dimension, and attach to the top of the card.  Add silver line stickers as shown.

Lovely lupines and violets with a stem of forsythia. Makes me miss those miles and miles of blue bonnets with some Indian Paint brushes in the mix the third week in March in Texas. I remember that there were so many blue bonnets blooming at the same time, it looked like there was a sea of blue.

Good afternoon Selma,
Ohhhh these lupins look so realistic that you think you could just squeeze them together like the real life equivilant. Pansies are one of my many favourites of delicate flowers that i love. Sweetpeas, livingstone daisies, mini grape hyacinths, bluebells, snowdrops, tiny daffodils, etc you get the idea.These are all my favourite type of flowers and between Susan's eye for detail in creating the drawings for the dies and your expertise in making them up, along with Susan's, you just both bring such life into them that you are in two minds as to whether they are real or paper. We only know that they are not, that they are handcrafted by talent, to know that we are looking at paper flowers. Thank you Selma for bringing such beauty to our screens,
crafty love
