Blooming Garden Inspiration | Floral Cards with Elena

Hi dear Spellbinders’ fans! This is Elena Salo. I’m so happy that spring is finally here and we can enjoy the warmth of sun rays the smell of fresh spring flowers. But you can’t take pleasure in Spring fully without new collection “Blooming Garden” from Marisa Job. It’s extremely hard to describe the beauty of all dies in this collection. Every of them is so wonderful and unique! Since I’m addicted to handmade flowers, I plan to work with this release very closely. Today I’d like to show you two cards I made using this collection.

I like that the dies in Blooming Rose set are of different sizes, so you can create big, small and medium flowers.

The dimension is fantastic! Love how realistic the flowers look,

Jocelyn,

Hi Jody! Thank you so much for the question! The petals are not embossed. I just die cut them out of colored cardstock and drew some lines with dark and light thin markers. Then I added some shape to the petals with Tool in One and adhered all layers of the petals together.

Elena Salo,

Love these flowers! The petals look like they are textured. Are they embossed? If so, with what? ?

Jody D,

I love your cards. They are elegant without a lot of components to construct them.

Elena S Sheridan,

Both of your cards are gorgeous and so very elegant looking! I love the beautiful lace background and beautiful blooming roses! The sentiments are perfect too!
Hugs, Sherry x
