Beautiful Flowering Quince Birthday Card

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing this birthday card I made that features Spellbinders Flowering Quince dies from the Nature's Botanical Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn!  I've used the Nature's Botanical Wreath 3D embossing folder for a gorgeous background to set off the dimensional flowers.

I embossed an A2 sized panel of white cardstock with the Nature's Botanical Wreath 3D embossing folder.  This embossed image is large enough for a 5" x 7" card!  I centered my A2 panel so the wreath would emboss proportionally on the cardstock.  Then I adhered it to my A2 card base.

Next I cut the Flowering Quince dies from Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock.  Note: I die cut two of the branch with leaves and nine of the flower die.  This is a wonderful textured cardstock that is easy to shape and it takes Copic marker blending beautifully!

I colored the pieces with these Copic markers:

  • Flowers: R22, R21, R11, Y08
  • Branch: E27, E25, E23
  • Leaves: YG97, YG67, YG17, YG25, YG03

Next I used several of the tools in the Ultimate Tool Kit to form and shape the flowers and stamens.  I snipped one of the branches with leaves into two pieces and adhered those pieces to the other branch.  Then I used glue to adhere the flower petals and stamens together and then to the branches.

The sentiment is from the A Little Message Sentiments BetterPress set.  This set includes coordinating dies for each of the 12 sentiments.  I love the crisp perfect image that the BetterPress Letterpress System gives!

I added a few crystal gems to give the card a bit of sparkle!

Have you tried shaping your own flowers from cardstock?  I find it so relaxing and enjoyable to create these beautiful flowers from paper!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!  I hope your day is fabulous!
