Instructions: Card size is 5x7". Cut white cardstock to 10 x 7". Score and fold at 5". Using a sponge dauber, lightly ink the edges of card base using Buttercup ink. Choose designer paper from Oakberry Lane Paper collection, cut to 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". Lightly ink edges of panel with Plum ink and adhere onto card base with round foam dots.
Die cut white cardstock using the oval die, stamp sentiment in Plum ink. Use Tea Rose ink to color the edges of oval before adhering it directly onto card base using Dries Clear Glue. Die cut Eyelet Oval along with a smaller oval die to create a frame from purple designer paper. Die cut two more from foam paper. Use the Cactus Flower ink to color the foam frames and the purple frame until you are happy with the color. Use small foam squares between each layer of the frame, this creates a lot of dimension.
Stamp the flower cluster, two acorns, three leaves, three medium blossoms, and one large blossom in Jet Black ink on white cardstock. Stamp 4 small blossoms using Frost White ink and emboss with Aged Ivory embossing powder, heat set. Die cut all images with their coordinating dies.
Use the sponge daubers to color the images. Use Coffee and Sepia ink for the acorns, Leaf Green and Vivid Chartreuse for the leaves, Tea Rose and Plum for the berries, Buttercup and Plum for the embossed blossoms, Buttercup, Rose Madder and a touch of Cactus Flower for the blossoms.
For a quick and easy shaping, use the 3D Blossoms Shaping Mold for the blossoms and leaves. For more tips on using the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE. Or if you prefer, you can use the shaping stylus instead, and use it to shape the rest of the images.
Use the sponge to add glue to the background and on the frame before applying the Crystal Clear. Assemble as shown, using foam dots and Dries Clear glue. Add the gold stamens for visual interest in the arrangement as well and in the flower center. Add more Crystal Clear to flowers and leaves as desired. Using Dries Clear Glue, add prills to the center of the remaining flowers. Finish with Crystal Lacquer on the berries. Allow to dry.
