Hello Honey Bee friends! Spring has sprung and I was in the mood for flowers!  I used the beautiful Whimsical Spring Flowers Honey Cuts to create my card that’s perfect for a very special person’s spring birthday!

First I created my card base.  I die cut the Garden Lattice Cover Plate Top and Base from 80# Neenah and adhered them together and then to an A2 card base with Bee Creative glue.

Next, I took a piece of 80# Neenah and inked it up with Detail Blender brushes and Dried Marigold, Saltwater Taffy, and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks.  I spritzed on some water drops, let it dry, then added white paint splatters.  While that was drying, I inked up another card panel with Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn and Bundled Sage Distress Oxides. I added water drops to this panel and let it dry.

I used all of the dies in the Whimsical Spring Flowers set and die cut my flowers and leaves.  There is a great guide of layering ideas for the flowers on Honey Bee’s site HERE.  I adhered the flower layers together with Bee Creative glue.  Then I added a bit of shape to the flowers and leaves with the stylus tool from the flower shaping kit.

I played around for a bit with the arrangement of my flowers and leaves.  When I was happy with it, I took a photo to reference while I adhered them in place.  I used foam dots on some of the flowers and Bee Creative glue on the other flowers and the leaves.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Miss You Big Time set with clear embossing ink.  I added black embossing powder and heat set it.  I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating Honey Cut.  Then I die cut two more from white cardstock and adhered them together.  I added it to the card with foam dots and some glue.

Birthday cards must have sparkle, at least I think so!  Haha!  So I added sparkle to the flowers and around the sentiment with gems from the Hugs and Kisses Gem Sticker set.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my card full of flowers today! I also so appreciate you stopping by–thank you! Have a wonderful day!
