Birds & Bees Garden Release

Good Morning,

Today I have a card designed using dies from Susan's new Birds & Bees Garden release from Spellbinders.  This collection includes flower die sets for Asters, Pom Pom Dahlias, Black-Eyed Susans, and Autumn Foliage.  It also includes a die for a Parasol and a Basket of Sunflowers 3-D embossing folder.  These dies will soon be available and I have them linked below.

For the background on this 5x7 inch card, I used a Spellbinders 'Knock On Wood' 3-D embossing folder.  

For the basket, I used Susan's older Cactus Dahlia & Ornamental Garden Pottery die set.  After it was die cut, I used an older basket weave 3-D embossing folder to add the weave on the basket.  I then die cut the basket a second time using gold metallic cardstock and fussy cut the band that goes around the base of the basket.  It was attached to the card with a piece of dimensional tape placed in the center of basket and glue around the outside edges.

Using the new Autumn Foliage die set, ten branches were die cut, colored, shaped with Susan's Flower Tool Kit and attached using Bearly Art Glue.

The five asters were created by using the new Aster die set and die cutting them using Susan's Specialty Cardstock.  They were colored using OLO markers.  In the center, pollen was added to the larger piece, the small yellow pieces glued in then, yellow Prills added to make them look realistic.

The Pom Pom Dahlia die set was used to create the two dahlias.  You can watch Susan's YouTube video for instructions on how to roll the petals and assemble.  These are one of my favorite flowers to create.

For the final touch, purple styrofoam ball were colored with alcohol ink and added for the berries.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have fun creating your autumn arrangements.
