Layered Fleur Bouquet dies

 Becca Feeken has a new collection out called Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines,  I have 2 cards today using some of these new floral dies.

First is a card that uses her Layered Tulips dies.

supplies: white, yellow, and green card, Layered Tulips and Eyelet Lace Frame dies, distress inks for shading

I thought that this bouquet of tulips would look pretty mixed with Becca's Eyelet Lace frames.  My card measures 5 x 7 inches, and I pulled the different tulip layers up a bit for some dimenstion., securing everything at the bottom of each flower.

Next are the Cherry Blossoms.

supplies: white, Surf Blue, kraft, Green Leaf, a pink and a yellow cardstock, pink marker to shade flowers, Layered Cherry Blossom dies, a cloud stencil and tumbled glass oxide ink, Simon retired spring sentiment

I cut out all the branches, leaves, and flowers using colored cardstock, just shading the flowers a bit with a darker pink marker.  After constructing the flowers and lifting up some of the petals for dimension, I added them to my branches atop a stencilled cloud background onto which I had first stamped my simple sentiment.  To finish I added leaves,

My card is a mini-slimline, measuring about 3 1/4" X 6 1/4".  I'm finding I prefer this size over the larger regular slimlines.

Many thanks to Spellbinders for sharing these die sets with me; I'll have another die from this collection coming soon.
