Hi friends!  I thought I would sneak in today and share with you a little bit of the paper flowers I have been making lately using some Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies.

I am seriously in love with the Susan’s Garden dies that allow you to make such realistic looking flower.  Today I am playing around with the new Shasta Daisy die set from Susan’s Garden.

I thought it would be kind of fun to layer the flowers through two different windows of paper.

Step 1:  Trim a 12″x6″ piece of Dusky Sky Soft Finish Cardstock and die cut an oval out using the new Frame It/Stitched Ovals die set.  Trim up a piece of 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock to fit into the oval hole.

Step 2:  Trim a piece of Wood Effects printed paper to 6″x6″.  Die cut a square opening using the new Frame It/Stitched Squares using the largest die.

Step 3:  Die cut the Shasta Daisy die set out of 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Step 4:  Color the leaves and stems with alcohol markers.  I used my copics and colored with YG03, YG06, G19, and G29.  Then shape the leaves using the precision tools and leaf molding pad.

Step 5:  Color the center buds with alcohol makers.  I used Y13 and Y17.  Shape the buds with the small stylist and the molding pad.

Step 6:  Add touches of shadows to the flower petals using N0 and N2.  Shape the petals using the precision tools and molding pad.

Step 7:  Using double side adhesive, adhere the white cardstock behind the oval opening.

Step 8:  Using more double side adhesive adhere the Wood Effects paper to the top of the card frame.

Step 9:  Using Kids Choice Glue, assemble and adhere the daisies to the card frame, tucking the stems under the frames.

Step 10:  Add double side adhesive to some 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock.  Then die cut the sentiment using Words 4- Remember die set.

Step 11:  Add dark teal micro fine glitter from the Earth Glitter Palette.

Step 12:  Using Kids Choice Glue adhere the words to the card frame.

I just love how this die create such realistic looking flowers.  I am always amazed at how easy it is to create these beautiful flowers.
