In my last post I shared how to make a greeting card with natural flowers. Today, I am sharing another greeting card made with natural flowers, except different ones. These are the flowers and leaves I used:
Following the same process that I shared in my previous post on how to make a greeting card with natural flowers, I laid the selected flowers and leaves face down onto Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Paper as seen in this picture.
I ran the watercolor paper, flowers, and leaves through the Big Shot, and this is the outcome. Looks like a mess, right? Well, it was as these flowers had more moisture in them than the ones I used previously. A lot of paper towels were needed to clean up the Big Shot platform and cutting plates!
Regardless, after removing the flowers and leaves from the watercolor paper, I had another beautiful piece of art, as shown in the picture below.
I love how the colors on the watercolor paper are so different from the colors of the natural flowers. I think I like this outcome better than the one I discussed in my last post. What do you think? Here’s the card I made with the outcome.
What do you think? I think it’s a very pretty card. I adhered the watercolor paper to Stampin’ Up! Pretty in Pink Card Stock (100459), and then to Lucky Limeade Card Stock (122926). I added the beautiful pink bow to the top of the card to accent the pink from the flowers. This bow was on a beautiful floral arrangement given to me by my daughter for breast cancer month.
I added a few drops of glitter glue for the flowers’ stamen and added three butterflies that I covered with the Stampin’ Up! Frost White Shimmer Paint (116854). The sentiment stamped on the bottom right of the card is from the Stampin’ Up! Trust God Stamp Set (126702).
