Oh, the dimension created from these Spellbinders Begonia and Ladybugs dies by Susan Tierney Cockburn! I used watercolor paper to cut these out and painted them with Altenew watercolors, adding extra color to the edges with a flat brush. You need to add some color to the back side since from some angles you can see the underside of the petals.
Watercolor paper is pretty thick but once wet, more pliable. I have also made these with 65 lb colored cardstock and just added a bit of dark color with Copic markers and they look equally as good and are easier to shape. Plus they already start out colored so less work.
If you are interested in making dimensional flowers, I'd recommend watching Susan Tierney Cockburn's video on the Spellbinders channel. You can see the one for this set HERE. She uses her shaping kit but everywhere I looked it was sold out. So I used the Sizzix set, which I'll link below under supplies.
The embossing folder is from Spellbinders and I used white cardstock, lightly misted. The ladybug comes with the set, I used a stylus from the shaping kit to give it a bit of dimension and then used Glossy Accents for a bit of shine.
The lovely sentiment (Black Glimmer hot foiled but it is a BetterPress plate) is from the same Susan Tierney Cockburn collection called Summer Soltice Garden. Take a look at the collection, there are so many more floral diesets, I'll be sharing cards I made with them all soon. You can see the collection HERE.

That's it for today, I'll post more florals soon! Listed below are the products used with direct links. If you use any of my links, I receive a small commission and it lets the stores know (and me) you find my content useful and I should continue. Thank you!
