Die Cut Flower Pots and Butterflies

I have a pretty spring colored die cut flower pots and butterflies card to share with you today using garden and frame dies by Rubbernecker Stamps.  For this project I used the 5132 Rectangle Combo #2 OPC Die, 5147-18D Tulip Tops Die, 5147-16D Tall Terracotta Pot Die, 5147-05D Flower Stems Die, 5147-09D Flower Buds Die, 5147-08D Small Butterflies Die, 5152-03D Grass Set and 5118D Leaf Group Die.

The Pots

I cut the pots using Alpaca cardstock and colored and shaded them using mini applicators and Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo ink.  I started by applying a light coat of Wild Honey and then added darker tones around the edges and and top of the pots using Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo.  I made sure I left the centers of the pots a lighter color to create more realistic pots.

The Flowers

I several sets of flower stems using Easter Grass cardstock and the flowers using Cotton Candy, Sour Lemon and Sour Grape cardstock.  I formed the Sour Grape flower using my small tipped stylus and molding pads and attached them to the flower stems using glossy accents.  I gently rounded the tulip heads using the larger stylus and molding pad and attached them to the flower stems using glossy accents.

Arranging the Flower Pots

I created the two smaller pots of flower by attaching the stems to the back of the pots using glossy accents.  I started by attaching the front flower stems first and worked my way back adding taller stems.  Next I cut a couple sections of the Leaf Group die, cut them apart and created a larger foliage arrangement in the tallest pot. I began with the shortest foliage branches and worked by way back adding taller branches until I was satisfied with the size to stand behind the two front pots.  I attached purple flowers to the branches using glossy accents until it was full of blooms. 

The Frame and Grass

I cut the frames die and attached the two largest sections together using double stick tape. I cut one grass section and attached it to the back of the frame using double stick tape.  I cut thin strips of mounting tape, attached them to the back of the frame and attached it to the pink card base.

The Die Cut Flower Pots and Butterflies

I tucked the tallest post in behind the brass and attached it to the card base using mounting tape.  Next I applied mounting tape to the back of the two smaller pots and tucked them in behind the grass and attached them to the card base and taller flower pot.  I added several small butterflies to the scene for the finishing touch.

I appreciate you coming by today and I hope my spring flower scene using die cut flower pots and butterflies has inspired you to get out your favorite dies to make a scene of your own.
