Daffodil Bouquet

Good morning!
We thought last month's daffodils were pretty (and they were),
This month we can make them 3D.

Sometimes I think you guys are mind reader
many of you came out with your own form of 3-D daffodils 
after last month's release not knowing that
we already had the 3-D daffodils for this month!
You guys are amazing!
At the moment we are all making samples for
June...bet you can't guess!!!

White Cardstock, green cardstock, Alcohol Inks-Yellow, green, orange and pink, jelly jar, iridescent Easter basket filler, embossing Ink Pad

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE

Jar is 2 X 2 ½”, Project 6 ½” tall.  Stamp enough small daffodils (both parts) for 3 flowers using yellow. Sponge backs and edges with yellow.  Run flowers through the shaping mold.  Glue 2 bottom pieces together for each flower.  Glue half circle top part of daffodil together at ends and fold bottom tabs up.  Glue the top “cup” onto the bottom base.  Stamp enough small daffodil (bottom only) using purple to make 3 “crocus”, sponge with purple on both sides and on edges.  Glue 2 bottoms together for each flower make a small bowl stamp side out.   Stamp Hydrangea using embossing fluid pad and emboss with white on white.  Make 7 flowers with 2 layers each.  For the small white flowers use 1 white beaded stamen in each.  For the daffodil use the yellow pollen stamen and for the purple crocus use orange pollen and orange medium pearl stamen (dye the pearl stamen with orange alcohol ink).

Make long Daffodil leaves with green cardstock, hand cut about 5 leaves and curl ends. 

Color jar with alcohol inks.  Fill with Iridescent filler then fill with flowers and leaves (glue in place with hot glue).   Glitter flowers. 


My second card uses the new Gateway Fold cards with this month's release AND last month's.

 Card size: 5 X 7”, open: 7 X 15”.  Use the 3 panel Gateway Fold Card base.  Cut 3 white Teardrop Lattice Gateway decorative parts inside and out.  Cut 3 yellow decorative paper panels to fit the card base using the plain outer die. Glue the yellow panels on then the decorative white panels. 

Cut 1 small bottom and 1 small daffodil top using Buttercup ink to make one flattened small Daffodil.  Cut 2 large bottoms and 2 large daffodil tops using Buttercup to make 1 large flattened daffodilish type flower.  Stamp 2 small Zinnia using green for flower bases.  Use several yellow beaded stamen for each flower (leave wires to make stems). Wrap “stems” with floral tape. Stamp the little butterflies  using purple and sponge with purple, die cut.

 Stamp 2 arched and 2 straight Daffodil Sprays using black memento (if using Copic Markers).  Stamp 1 large daffodil from Delightful Daffodils & Hyacinth. Die cut all and color.  Stamp the swan and Sentiment using London Fog (or black) die cut and color. 

On the first panel (showing when closed) add a bit of blue decorative paper to the bottom of the inside arched gateway (for a lake).  Glue and pop up swan on lake, add Calla Lilies on both side.  Add 1 arched daffodil sprays to the bottom but before gluing the left side slide stems in under left side then glue.  Glue a double butterfly at the top right.

Glue the sentiment to the middle of panel 2 then glue an arched spray to the top and a straight spray at the bottom.

Glue the large daffodil to the bottom of the 3rd panel and the last straight spray over the stem at the very bottom.  Glue the butterfly to the top left side.

 Glitter the flowers with Crystal Clear and randomly glitter the card panels with Ultrafine.

Thanks for visiting today!

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

I love these verses but more, I love Psalm 139 in whole, it also tells of God's intimate knowledge of our being...

13

For You formed my inward parts;
You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

So much I love.  I thoroughly LOVE the whole WORD of GOD.
