I'm always happy to see a new collection from Susan Tierney-Cockburn, her flower diesets are stunning. Spellbinders just released the Poet's Garden Collection. You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.
You can see how to put together all the flowers from her collections by watching the tutorials on Spellbinders YouTube channel. I like seeing how Susan puts the flowers together and she tells a bit about the flowers.
I cut the flowers from 98 lb/160 g Canson mixed media paper that I bought at Michaels. I wanted a paper that wasn't too hard to shape, if you use a heavy cardstock it would leave bend marks. I have also used 65 lb paper to make the flowers and that works well too.
I diecut 2 stems and enough flowers for each of the 2 stems and then used my gel plate to hold them in place for coloring. A sticky mat would also work. I took Distress Oxide inks and a blending brush to color all the petals. I used Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Villianous Potion and Prize Ribbon for the flowers, the yellow one is Squeezed Lemonade. I took a purple marker to make the dark streaks at the last minute. I used a bronze Liquid Pearl for the center of the flowers. You can use whatever you have, glitter, stickles, a marker.
The leaves and stems are in shades of green Distress Oxide, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Crushed Olive.
The sentiment is from the same collection. I think it's lovely. I used black Glimmer hot foil to foil the press plate.
The background panel is white cardstock embossed with the Molded Frame 3D embossing folder.
