A Bouquet for Spring

 For the last few days Mother Nature has teased us into thinking about Spring. The sun was shining; it was warm enough to go without a winter jacket; and almost all of the snow has melted.  I had to stop myself from checking the flower beds to look for early flower growth!

However, the only flowers blooming are on my card!

The card base is a top folding Thick Basic White card stock, which is layered with Balmy Blue DSP matting an Ornate Die Cut layer.

The bouquet of flowers is built on the Ornate Layer Die Cut. The basket is stamped in Soft Suede from the "Arrange a Wreath" stamp set, with the feet made with a 1/2" circle punch.  It is added to the card front using dimensionals.


The flowers and stem, die cut in Garden Green or Mossy Meadow card stock ,are from the "Wrapped Flower Dies". The flowers are die cut in Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Basic White.  A small amount of gold dimensional glitter was added to the center of each flower.


At the base of the bouquet is added a bow made with 1/4" crumpled Whisper White seam binding.
