Read on further to see how to make the Flower Bouquet card…..

Let’s make the base first :

Step 1:

I first took a light brown handmade paper by Little Birdie measuring 8.5″ × 12″. Scored this piece on the long side at 2.75″, 5.5″, 8.25″ and 11″.

Step 2:

Then I cut off 2″×12″ from the above panel. Kept this strip aside as we would require it later.

Step 3:

I then scored the 6.5″ × 12″ panel at 2.75″ on the shorter side and cut along the red lines as shown in the pic.

It will look like this :

Step 4:

The strip (from step 2), I cut at 4.75″ from the end with the 1″ score line.

Then trimmed it in half… the long way to get 2 strips of 1″ x 4.75″ each as shown in the pic. Scored them and added double sided tape to the scored ends.

See how I attached them to the box:

Step 5:

For the matting I cut the following :

6 panels of 2.5″ square

3 panels of 2.5″ × 3.5″

2 panels of 2.5″ × 6.5″

See how I adhered them below :

I adhered a white piece of cardstock on the back to write a message for the recipient.

For the flowers :

Step 1:

I used a Little Birdie Watercolour Paper Blooms. You get 100 flowers of 4 different sizes in 1 pack . Pretty economical! Leaving the largest size, I used the other 3 sizes of flowers.

Step 2:

You can watercolor them as per your choice. I used watercolor pencils to color them. Then I embossed the petals a little bit and decorated the center with Little Birdie Pearl drops. I let the drops dry overnight.

* You can make smaller or larger dots based on your choice. They dry hard. *
