Spellbinders | Wild Coneflowers

Hello there, it's release day over at Spellbinders and there are three new collections. One of them being the Cascading Coneflowers collection by Simon Hurley. This pretty collection features coneflowers/echinacea, sentiments, a cascading dot embossing folder and coordinating stencils.  I am using the coneflower dies for my card today. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Wild Coneflowers Etched Dies from white cardstock. I added ink blending to them using Altenew Fresh Dye Inks. I used Enchanted Garden for the petals, Golden Sunset for the centres, and Green Valley for the leaves and stems. I cut two layers of the stems (adhered one on top of the other) to give them some dimension. The flower heads were assembled and adhered using Bearly Art Glue. 

I took a panel of Spellbinders Lilac ColorWheel Cardstock and die cut it using one of the ovals from the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals Etched Dies. It wasn't quite the right shade of purple to match the flowers, so I added ink blending on top using the darkest colours from the Altenew Enchanted Garden Fresh Dye Ink collection, followed by a little Jet Black Fresh Dye Ink around the edges. 

For the card base, I die cut two of the scalloped oval die from the set and scored a line towards the top of one to create a hinge. I added adhesive onto the hinge and adhered it to the back of the other one to create the oval shaped card base. I adhered the flower stems and leaves first onto the purple oval, followed by the flower heads using thin foam tape. I cut the bottom of the stems off with scissors and then adhered the panel onto the card base using more thin foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiments, from the Spellbinders Whimsical Wishes Clear Stamp Set, onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. They were cut into strips and adhered to the card using more thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Prism AB Color Essentials Gems.
