Susan’s Autumn Flora Collection Inspiration

The season of Autumn is all colorful and radiant in the surroundings full of blissful blooms. Susan Tierney Cockburn, The Flower Artist has released her new Autumn Flora Collection . The Autumn Garden at Spellbinders is in full bloom with Oriental Poppy, Button and daisy Chrysanthemum, Hydrangea, Coreopsis and many more along with the foliage of the Autumn season. The entire collection is a treat for all flower makers and will help you create realistic natural flowers.

The two cards today feature the Oriental Poppy Flower and the Daisy Flower with foliage. The flowers have been highlighted with beautiful dies from Spellbinders.

Oriental Poppy Card

To make the Poppy card,  make a card base in white card stock that measures 7" x 5" and is top folding. Add a mat layer of another piece of white card stock that is a little smaller than the card base. Add a mat layer from red card stock to add a hint of color matching with the flowers. Take a card panel 4 inches by 6 inches and cut out an oval window using the middle outline oval die from the Picot Petite Ovals dies . Cut another bigger oval and Distress with Peeled Paint Distress ink and spritz a little water. Add this under the oval window. Add two layers from the Picot Petite Ovals die cuts.

Make Oriental Poppy flowers . Follow Susan’s video to learn how to make the flowers. Arrange them with the Foliage die cuts. Finish the card by adding the Congrats die cut.

Daisy Card

For the second card, the focal flowers are the Daisy flowers . To make this card, make a 6 inches square card base and mat it with pastel green coloured card stock that has been cut a little smaller than the card base. Add two more mat layers of gold and white card stock. The last layer is cut from the beige colored card  and decorated with Hannah Elise small frame die and Picot Petite ovals die.

To make the flowers, follow Susan's video tutorial . Make foliage branch using green and red card stock. The flowers and leaves are colored with Archival inks.
