Flower Garden Inspiration | Be True to Yourself with Ruby

Hi, crafty friends! This is Rubeena from A Rare Ruby, and I’m so excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders Blog today. This post is part of a series featuring the Flower Garden Collection by Sharyn Sowell! You can find my first two posts here and here.

The Flower Garden Collection has been fun to work with. I decided to use the frame die from Card Creator Floral Panel Card set again and color it.

I started by die-cutting the insert die and the outside die frame at the same time out of textured watercolor cardstock and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. I removed all the negatives pieces using the Tool ’N One.

I used my Polychromos pencils in shades of green, coral, and yellow to color the entire frame. I used darker pencils for some basic shading. Once I finished coloring it, I mounted the panel to my white card base with foam tape.

The sentiment was stamped with clear embossing ink onto black cardstock and heat-embossed in white. I die-cut it using the tag die and mounted it to the center of the frame with foam tape.
