Through The Garden Gate Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn
Hello there! I’m thrilled to be back today to share a floral card using the new Through The Garden Gate Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The gorgeous new flower dies and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create one more time a 3D Card.
The Hollyhock Die Set creates such a beautiful stalk of bright blooms that is perfect for all type of cards, including the slimline and mini slimline cards. Here I added a single stalk of coral hollyhocks to a pretty embossed background. To emboss the white layer, I used the This Plus This Embossing Folder from Spellbinders.
HOLLYHOCK FLOWERS PROCESS:
- Die cut Shimmer White Cardstock using the petal and leaves dies from the Hollyhock Die Set. Color them with Classique Markers from Spectrum Noir and shape the flowers using a loop tool and tweezers.
- Roll the stamens up with liquid glue. Assemble each bloom with liquid glue. My favorite is the Glue Pen – Dual Tip by SAby3L.
- Die cut Green Cardstock using the stalk die from the Hollyhock Die Set. Add a little coral to the tips of the buds with a Classique Marker and shade the leaves and stalk with Classique Markers from Spectrum Noir.
- Shape the leaves using the leaf tool and loop tool.
The rest of the card is a simple layering of cardstock. I just pasted all the layers in coordinating colors with EZ-Runner Permanent Adhesive and decorated the card with a sentiment from the Let’s Celebrate Sentiments from the Celebrate You Collection. In addition, I added some pink jewels.
I hope you enjoyed this bright floral card and thanks so much for stopping by today. You can shop the Through The Garden Gate Collection from Spellbinders now and create your own lifelike blooms for all of your papercrafting projects!
