My Cards and Tags: Botanical Tags using Paper Rose's Wildflowers 2 and Baby Blue Leaf Small Dies

This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog theme is Beautiful Botanicals.  I used some fabulous floral dies from Paper Rose and Sizzix to make these cards.


I started by cutting these floral shapes and finger-painting them with acrylic paint.  I also cut some rectangular cards out of some patterned paper (Reminiscence).

While the paint was drying on the flowers, I did some stenciling and splattering on the patterned paper.  I used Seth Apter's Izink Glaze with the stencils and splattered some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray onto each card.

All that was left was the assembly part!  I glued the floral cuts onto the cards using my trusty UHU glue stick.  The die below is Wildflowers 2, which I think is stunning and which has been very versatile.

For the flower on the card below, I combined Paper Rose's Baby Blue Leaf Small die with a die from Sizzix's Stackable Florals set.

One thing that I like to do is outline my die cuts with black Sharpie to make them stand out better.  That's what I did on each of these floral elements.

Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
