Lavender Begonias Birthday Wishes

I recently purchased the latest set of flower dies from Spellbinders. This one uses the Begonia and Ladybugs dies. I also purchased the paperpack of all their latest colorwheel papers to try out as well. This one uses the Lavender cardstock.

This particular die set has a lot of layers. It's what makes the flowers look so full. I ink blended the edges of the petals and then the McGill Paper Blossom Tool Kit to add some dimension to each petal, giving them a domed look. The layers were adhered together with liquid glue. I cut enough layers to make three flowers.

The leaves were cut from scraps of green cardstock I had in my stash and the ladybugs were cut from red cardstock and the body and dots colored in with a Pigma Micron 03 Black Pen.

The the background to the flowers i pulled out the Penny Black All-in-One Oval die. It adds some loves stitching to the panel. Foam tape was added to the back and it was adhered to a top folding cardbase. The leaves and flowers were adhered in place with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.

The sentiment had been previously hot foiled and die cut with a sentiment label die. It was adhered in place with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.

A few champagne adhesive gems were scattered around the flowers and the card was done.
