Hello Honey Bee friends, Ilda here!

Today I have a beautiful fall pumpkin floral bouquet featuring the beautiful FALL BOUQUETS | HONEY CUTS from the Autumn Blessings Release. Sunflowers are my favorite fall flowers so I just had to create a sunflower bouquet.

CARD DETAILS

Once I die cut all my pieces for the bouquet using the FALL BOUQUETS | HONEY CUTS, I inked up all the edges to add dimension to the die cuts. To the yellow petals and the leaves, I used Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink that I applied lightly with the DETAIL BLENDER BRUSHES. To the pumpkin, I also blended out Ripe Persimmons Distress Oxide Ink along the bottom and along the creases up the pumpkin sides.

Next, I assembled the flowers. I used foam tape in between each layer to add depth to them. I also curled up each petal before gluing the flower together. The centers were cut using the same brown colored cardstock. To make the bottom layer darker I also rubbed on some Vintage Photo Oxide ink, then glued the two layers together and popped it into the center of the flowers.

After completing the flowers, I set them aside to work on the card base. I die cut a white piece of cardstock out using the large frame from the SCALLOP A2 FRAME HONEY CUTS and glued it to the card base. I then blended out a light layer of Broken China Distress Oxide ink to the center of the background.

I then played with the layout of the arrangement until I was happy with the design. I began by gluing down the pumpkin to the background and then attached the lower two sunflowers directly to the pumpkin. To top sunflower I used a couple of layers of foam to pop it up a little higher than the other two. I then glued the leaves in place. To create the vines, I cut thin strips of cardstock and rolled them around a pen and then glued the ends in place.

To finish the card I stamped the Thankful for you sentiment along the bottom from the FABOOLOUS SENTIMENTS set and then added a couple of gem stickers from the PERFECT PETALS GEM STICKERS, and that is pretty much how this card came together.

I hope you have been inspired by this Fall Pumpkin Floral Bouquet, I really had fun creating it. Thank you all for stopping by and until next time happy crafting!
