Flowers for Mom

Hi!

It's Anja here. My mom is celebrating her birthday this week and I was looking for ideas for her birthday card. I tried out foam flowers and I love the effect. I think I will make some more in different colors.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (3D Flower #1, 3D Flower #2, 3D Flower #7, Leafy Foliage, Oval Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Oval set, Sugar & Cream Alphabet),
- Distress Inks (Aged Mahogany, Forest Moss, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick),
- foam in different colors,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- patterned paper (14,5x14,5 cm),
- white and craft card stock for die cuts,
- flower stamen,
- green tape for flowers,
- iron,
- silicone glue,
- paper glue,
- wire,
- embossing tools.

First I die cut the flowers and leaves, using foam. I colored the foam with Distress Inks.





Then I used the iron and heat all the pieces.

 

You don't have to heat it for a long time. The foam shrinks and it peels of the surface. Then I used embossing tools to add some more shape to the flowers and leaves.






I used flowers stamens for the middle of the flower. I used a bit of wire to pull it trough the flower.


Then I taped t with this green adhesive tape that's used for making paper flowers.




I made all the flowers in the same way. When I had the finished I cut patterned paper for the background.


Then I die cut oval shapes for the front and inside of the card. I also cut letters from craft card stock.





When I had everything cut I started with adhering. I used silicone glue for adhering flowers to the front of the card.

And this is the finished product.










Have a nice Sunday!
Anja Z.
