Creating a pop-up garden card with Concord & 9th's Friendly Florals

 Hi friends!  I'm still busy making flowers hoping it will bring some spring weather.  If I can't have flowers in the garden, I'm sure going to have them on my cards.  Something you may not know about me....my second favorite hobby is gardening.

For this card I was inspired by the lovely Jennifer McGuire.  I used her framework to create a pop-up card.  You'll find the specific instruction for the pop-up portion of the card on her blog or YouTube channel. 

After creating the basic structure I embellished it with the Friendly Florals dies from Concord & 9th.  That long, oval window is also from the Friendly Florals set.  I thought it made the perfect window for those long, lovely flowers.

I did some ink blending for the background and then sprayed it with the Iridescent Shimmer Spray from Altenew.  I cut and layered the flowers, added a bit of shading with my copic markers and added them to the window.

My favorite part are those cute little bees.  Aren't they sweet?  I added some glitter glue to their wings for some added sparkle.

Hope you enjoyed my project today.  Thanks for stopping by!
