How to Add Flower Embellishments to Cards

For my post today I thought I would make another example of how to add flower embellishments to cards to create more dimension. This card started out to be just a pretty feminine use of the new Brass and Bliss Overalls set made using a page from the the Abundant Bouquet 6×6 Paper Pad and with the Garden Tools in the pockets. I had planned to add a sentiment but decided to add Tall Terracotta Pots fill with Small Flowers #3 and Spring Greenery #4.

Card Base

Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base.
Cut a 5.25″ x 4.00″ layer using green cardstock.
Apply strips of double stick tap to the back of the green layer and attach it to the card base.

Overalls and Garden Tools

Use a paper from the Abundant Bouquet 6×6 Paper Pad and light green cardstock to cut the Overalls sections.
Attach the pocket sections to the overall front using double stick tape. Note: make sure to leave the top of each pocket unattached to insert the garden tools.
Attach the overalls to the card base using strips of mounting tape.
Use gray cardstock to cut the Garden Tools.
Insert the tools behind the pockets and attaching using glossy accents.

Terracotta Pots

Cut the Terracotta Pots using bright yellow cardstock.
Use mini applicators and Autumn, Pumpkin and Pecan Color Fuse inks to apply color to the pots. Check out my YouTube Video Tutorial showing how I color my pots.

Flowers and Foliage

Use purple cardstock to cut the Small Flowers #3 and green cardstock to green cardstock to cut the Spring Greenery #4.
Place the small flowers face up on the molding pad and push down in the centers using a small tipped stylus.
Use glossy accents to attach the smaller flower sections to the larger sections and make sure to offset the petals.
Attach a few greenery sections to the back of the terracotta pots using glossy accents.
Use glossy accents to attach the small flowers to the greenery. Pro Tip: I use reverse tweezers to pick up and attach the small flowers to the foliage.
Attach the pots and flowers to the card base using pieces of mounting tape.
Tuck some flower stems into the top pocket to finish.
