Rainbow Bouquet for Crystal

When I asked what my niece and nephew's favorite colors were, Crystal said she liked a rainbow of color, but red was her favorite.

I decided to create a rainbow of flowers with the new Spellbinders Cosmos die. I pulled out scraps of cardstock to create the flowers and then ink blended them for dimension and contrast. The two layers were adhered together with liquid glue and then a ball stylus was used to make them a little more cupped.

The stamen on these flowers has some little stars at the tips. I decided to cut mine from gold mirror cardstock to add a little bling.

I decided to make it a bouquet of flowers and die cut a vase from a light green cardstock and embossed it with a small flower. I lightly ink blended the flowers and edges of the vase and then cut it again from green sticky back foam.

A panel of white cardstock was cut using a Waffle Flower Piercing Layer die and then embossed with the Stampin' Up Tasteful Textile folder. It was adhered directly to a top folding cardbase with liquid glue.

The flowers were adhered in place with different thickness of foam squares. Since red is her favorite color I place the red flower in the center. The leaves were tucked around the flowers.

The sentiment had been previously hot foiled and was adhered in place with a foam strip.
