Nature's Botanical Garden

Hi peeps. As this post goes up, I'll be on my way back from visiting my family in Jakarta. A week with my family is definitely way too short, but am also looking forward to being home with hubby and the pups.

Today, I am featuring the new release from Spellbinders Nature Botanical Garden collection. First up is the Flowering Quince set. I decided to use this set to decorate the band that hold the gate card below.

I used white cardstock for the whole thing and then once I die cut all the pieces I colored them with Copic markers. Put all the flowers aside once they're all assembled. For the card's gate, I cut 2 strip of panel and embossed it with Leafy 3D Embossing folder, Colored the embossed part with Copic markers and I also ink blend green and blue ink on the panel. Adhere the panel to card base. Trim a piece a vellum strip and wrap around the card. Arrange the leaves and flowers on the vellum strip. For the sentiment I used the many extra strips I have from Always and Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate.

For the next card, am featuring Azalea & Garden Pot set. At my office, our Azalea always make stunning display in the spring. Again, for the background I used Leafy 3D Embossing folder and this time I colored it with gray marker.

For the sentiment, I letter press the sentiment from Nature Botanical Garden Sentiment set and die cut the sentiment before adhering it to the card. I love the way both cards turned out. Hah... my mom asked me how am I going to mail these cards. I told her that these are the kind of cards that I hand delivered. So, yep, I save these cards for my local friends. :)

Well peeps, that's all from today. Pray for safe travel for me. Till next time as I have lots of projects to share this month. Cheers....
