Delightful Blooms - Couture Creation

Hi there everyone, Adriana here today, sharing a special project

I created for the Couture Creations magazine "Creative Inspiration".

A delightful basket of Blooms!!!

Using an assortment of papers from the Couture Creations 

Assorted Paper Pad

Sew Jo & Damask Delight paper pad

together with the new Couture Creation diecuts - 

C0723738 Art Deco border - The Metricon collection

C0723041 Nesting dies Sunflower

C0723722 Beautiful Butterfly - The Van Roe Collection  

C0723727   Lucky Tree - The Van Roe Collection  

The 5 papers I have chosen to create this wonderful basket of blooms
 are from the 

Sew Jo & Damask Delight paper pads as pictured below.

Other materials required are :-

A paper mache basket (or you can made your own,

with a small square box and some strong chipboard strip for the handle)

White German scrap border lace

Florist flower wire

Florist flower foam

Brads

Green cardstock for the leaves

C0723623 Sponge Dauber 

C0721971 Crystallina Glitzin Glamour Glitter Glue

C0721998 Pearl Moonlight

C0723817 3D Glue spots 

Couture Creations Foam Tape & doubled sided Tape

1. Cover the outside and inside of basket with

Sew Jo paper pad paper, ink edges with

Vintage Photo Ink pad and Sponge Dauber.

2. Cut 6 of Art Deco border diecut with 

Sew Jo paper pad, adhere these

around the bottom on basket and

on top of the basket handle.

Placing Moonlight Couture Creations Pearls  along

the centre of the Art Deco border diecut , as shown.

3. Cut 4 strips of Sew Jo paper - 2.5 cm x 30 cm, 

scrunch them with your hands, fold them out gently, then

create little pleats with all the strips of paper.

Place Couture Creations doubled sided Tape on the back of 

pleated paper, this will hold them together.

4. Adhere the completed pleats with doubled sided tape

and glue on the White German scrap lace border, 

all on the bottom top edge of

each side of the basket.

5. TO CREATE THE FLOWERS 

( you will need to create at least 8 to 9 flowers for this basket )

I will show you all how to create just ONE flower. 

Repeat this process for each individual flower.

Cut 4 assorted size diecuts from the Nesting dies Sunflower

and Damask Delight paper pad

Cut with scissors, little slits along each flower die cut, as shown.

Pierce the centre of each flower die cut, place brad in centre of flower.

Spritz your flat flower with a little clean water.

Gently scrunch each flower die cut towards the centre.

Dry your flower petals with heat gun.

Secure florist wire to the back of each flower with the brad tongs

and tape.

Cut 1 Lucky Tree  diecut with Green cardstock and

adhere with glue, to the back of the flower.

(HINT: Create different size flowers, this looks more appealing)

Place a florist foam inside the basket and

pierce your completed flowers into the foam, 

arranging them around the basket.

6. Cut 2 Beautiful Butterfly diecut and adhere to a florist wire.

Apply Crystallina Glitzin Glamour Glitter Glue to the butterfly wings.

Leave to dry, place in florist foam inside the basket

Add ribbon bows on the side of basket
