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 the Watercolour Paper Blooms pack by Little Birdie. 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. *

Step 3:

I also diecut leaves from the Ornate frame dieset with green cardstock.

Step 4:

The next step is to add thin strips of green cardstock (of different lengths) to each of the flowers and some of the leaves.

Step 5:

I also diecut 3 panels of cream color handmade paper using appropriate Square cross-stitch thin cut die by Little Birdie.

I stamped a sentiment onto this from my stash.

The last step is to attach the flowers & leaves with glue onto the box as per your choice.

Hope you liked my flower bouquet card. If you do make this card, I would love to see your creations.

Do let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Have a great day ahead!

Priyanka
