Sketched Blooms – Spellbinders Die D-Lites

Hello everyone!  Hope you are having a great week so far! 

Today I have a birthday shaker card to share with you. I used Sketched Blooms2 Die D-Lites by Spellbinders to make this cute floral shaker card. My daughter’s 6th birthday is coming next week and I’m sure she will love this :)! 

Spellbinders generously sent me two Die D-Lites die sets to play with. The other set is called Build A Terrarium and I shared a card featuring it recently. 

I started off by making the frame with two white blooms. I cut two different flowers using Sketched Blooms2 Die D-Lites from white cardstock and cut the frame using A2 Distressed Edges Card Creater Dies by Spellbinders as well from some white cardstock. I adhered a clear acetate sheet behind the frame and added the blooms on the acetate.  

Next I prepared the background. I traced the frame on a A2 sized watercolor panel using a pencil so that I have a guide.  I “smooshed” Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover DOX for the green and Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick DOX as the flowers on the background panel. For the sky I blended Broken China and Salty Ocean DOX and splattered pearlized water. I drew grasses using alcohol markers only inside of the frame and blended more green DOX outside of the frame. 

I cut one more bloom from some white cardstock and colored the tiny pieces from the die cut using alcohol markers. I stacked two bloom diecuts together on the background panel and inlaid the colored small pieces onto their places.
