I followed Beeka FeekenÂ’s You Tube video to make the card base.
I found the “Flowery Vine on Petra’s blog”. This is my version of how to make the Vine:
Die cut 5 buds using “Rose Creations Dies” – Die #2. Form the flowers into buds using your flower Forming Toolkit. Punch Bunch 5 Small Snowflakes, using the Punch Bunch Small Snowflake, out of green and form it. Put glue on the base of each bud and adhere to the snowflake. Let dry thoroughly. Use your piercing tool to make a hole in the base of the flower. Take a thin floral wire and make a hook on the end. Add the flower color to the hook ink. Place the end of the wire through the flower so that is comes out at the base. Don’t pull the wire all of the way through, yet. Add glue to the flower center and pull the wire through. I cut the wire that is sticking out of the flower so it is about a ½” long. Let dry. I used 8 digi leaves that I sponged them in yellow and 2 shades of green. Add wire to the back of the leaves. This makes it easier to form the leaves. Cut 5 ½” of the wire for the vine. Lay your leaves and flowers on your wire to determine where you want to place them. Dip leaf wire into hot glue and attach the wire to the vine. Dip the Flower wire in hot glue and adhere the wire to the vine. Wind floral tape around the wire being sure you go around each leaf and flower so they are secured to the vine. Form the vine to fit on your card and hot glue in place. Since the flowers and leaves are on wires you can easily reposition them the way you want. I added Cherry Lynn Baby’s Breath to the vine.
I made 3 flowers using “Spellbinders Rose Creations Dies”: Cut 2 from die #2 and 1 from die #1 per Flower. Then, sponge the front and back of the tips of the petals with Pink Chalk Ink. Form the flowers by rolling the petals around a round plier and use your Flower Forming Toolkit to cup the center. Glue the petals together to make a flower. Use “Punch Bunch 1” Big Sky Punch” for the center. Cover the spikes with Fruit Punch Stickles. Let dry. Lay center on the Flower Forming Mat, Press down in the center to bring the rays up. Glue to center of flower. Cut 3 stamen, ½” long, glitter the ends. Hot glue the stamen together. Then, hot glue the stamen to the center of the flower.
I used Marianne Creatables Seed and Head Leaves and Decorative Elegance with the 3 full flowers. The tag was punched using the “SU! Word Window Punch”.
