Watercolor Crocus Flowers

Hi, there! Marge here and today I would love to share a delightful shaker card featuring the Crocus Flowers Set.

I started by watercoloring Crocus Flowers Set using some inks then I cut them all using Crocus  Flowers Coordinating Dies. Next, I ink blended A2 sized Bristol paper using Distress Oxide inks (Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, and Fossilized Amber).

To make a shaker frame, I diecut Scallop Frames out of white card stock, then I adhered a piece of acetate film on back of it. As shown below, I placed Sequins, Jewels, and Seed Beads on the center of my inked panel first, then I foam mounted acetate window frame on them using Thin Strips Foam Adhesives.

I mixed a little mount of Sugar Plum Confetti Mix, Valentine Confetti Mix, Valentine Jewels Mix, 6mm Ballerina Pink, 4mm Ballerina Pink, 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Purple Seed Beads, Cotton Candy Seed Beads and Midnight Black  Jewels to put them into my shaker.

Please be sure to adhere a few sequins on the panel before you assemble shaker so that all elements in the shaker won’t fall down when you hold it straight up.

Once I’m done with my shaker, I adhered the panel onto A2 card base, then I started to put my Crocus Flowers on the bottom and top right corner of the shaker using Mini Glue Dots and Square Foam Adhesives. For the sentiment, I stamped Floral Hearts onto white paper, then I simply cut it freehand to make a little tag. I added twine to the tag then I foam mounted it on flowers. I further embellished my card using twine ribbon, Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Thank you so much for reading this post. Have a wonderful day !
