Before we left on vacation, I die cut quite a few buttercups from Spellbinders Fresh Cut Buttercups. I’ve been entranced by the series of Fresh Cut flowers Spellbinders has introduced, and the designs that cover the card completely have been very eye-catching. But I wondered if I could create several versions of a CAS card. This is the first of several you’ll see. Ultimately, I’ll try one of the more elaborate designs as well, but as usual, I ran out of time.
I added just a bit of ink blending to the flowers with some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide. For some visual interest and texture the Basket Weave Cover Plate from Gina K was added to the pink cardbase. After attaching the blossoms to the stem and leaves I added them to the cardbase, with a tag from a very old Papertrey Ink set, Tiny Tags with a sentiment from Be Still, by Honey Bee.
I”m sending this off to Colorful Options: Pastels, The Card Concept: Spring Flowers with a lovely inspiration photo, The Flower Challenge: Add Layers, and to NBUS since this is the Buttercups debut.
Lovely! I love what how you used the Spellbinders die set here. Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
This is beautiful! Love the addition of the tag with the sentiment, brilliant! Thank you for joining us at the Colorful Options Challenge. Have a great weekend! 🎨🌈 Cheers, Makira

Ah, Karen, this floral is a delicate beauty worthy of a beautiful CAS design such as yours. Love the soft coloring of the flowers, the background weave die and that tiny tag! Thank you so much for sharing with us over at The Flower Challenge!

Another very nice card, with really delicate colouring. And I’ve learned something too… Just googled pink buttercups – I hadn’t seen them before (or not to my knowledge).
GORGEOUS!!!
