Hello, my friends and Happy Monday!
Today I am super excited to share with you this beautiful Framed Lovely Layers Floral Bouquet featuring many of the lovely layers dies from Honey Bee Stamps. I've had this idea since the sunflower die was released and was dying to make it. I have made many similar frames in the past, which I will share with you at the end of this post, but this time was the first time I used dies to create the flowers.
If you love die-cutting, this project is for you. I made this over a period of two days. The first day I spent die-cutting and ink blending all the pieces. The second day was pretty much assembling and embellishing it.
Here is a breakdown of how and what I used to put it all together.
FRAME RECIPE
Dies:
Frame:
- Square 9 ¾ " Frame from IKEA
(The frame I used has been discontinued, the one I linked is very similar)
Paper:
Heavy Weight 110lbs Colored Cardstock
Ink for blending:
Atelier Inks from Inkon3 (see links below)
Die Cut Machine:
Adhesives:
Embellishments:
Seed Beads - colored with a brown marker
Other Tools:
Once all the pieces were die-cut and inked up, I then assembled each flower individually using foam in between each layer. I then played with the arrangement until I came up with one I liked and took a photo of the design to guide me when it came time to glue it all down.
The flowers were then glued to a piece of white cardstock that I had cut to fit the frame. Use foam tape to build up height where you feel it may be needed. I used about 4 layers of foam to raise the center sunflower. To finish off the bouquet I added a couple pieces of twirled cardstock to create some vine-looking greenery.
For additional shine, I painted the edges of some of the hydrangea flowers using liquid pixie dust.
I am in love with this frame and I hope you are too. Maybe it will even inspire you to create something similar for yourself!
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
