Make a Colorful Flowers Card for Summer

Make a colorful flowers card with an arbor gate scene for summer.

I love to create scenes especially with flowers arranged with outdoor images.  The arbor and gate provided me the perfect opportunity to highlight a pretty blue sky background and lots of colorful summer flowers.  To make this card I used the Brass and Bliss Nested Rectangle, Stacked Arches, Gate and Fence, Classic Grass, Leaves and Greenery, Sunlit Blossoms, Small Butterflies and  Tropical Birds and Leaves.

Make a colorful flowers card using dies by Brass and Bliss.

I was inspired to make this flower themed design by a larger version I made back in June.  Take a look at my Make a Die Cut Arbor with Flowers post.

A2 Scene Base

  • Used nested dies to cut the smaller rectangle layers.
  • Use a blending brush and blue ink to apply the sky area with a clouds stencil.
  • Attach the sky layer to the larger layer and then attach them to the card base using strips of mounting tape.
  • Cut the small arbor section and gate and fence sections and attach them together.
  • Apply pieces of mounting tape to the back of the arch and fence sections and attach them to the base.
  • Cut one grass section and attach it to the gate and fence using a strip of double stick tape.

Flower Arrangement

  • Cut the foliage sections and attach them to the fence and gate using glue.
  • Cut colorful cardstock flowers, form them using a stylus and molding pad and attach them to the foliage with glue.
  • Finish the scene by attach small butterflies.

  1. So nice to see you still creating beautiful cards, Ms. Kittie. They were always such a treat to discover online in the past when caring for each other on paper was the norm.
