Astrantia & Berries

Hello my crafty friends!

My card today is a simple 5" X 7" Birthday Card.  Spellbinders Susan's Garden Astrantia S5-711 was used along with some pieces of berry branch that I actually got from floral clearance at Hobby Lobby.

Card base cut 100# cardstock 10" X 7" score 10" at 5" fold on score line.  Next layer was 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhered to card front.  Pattern Paper was cut 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" adhered to card front.  The oval die cut from my stash which was adhered to card front.  Happy Birthday was stamped on white cardstock using black ink then a piece of the colored cardstock was cut 1/4" larger and adhered the Happy Birthday to it.

I created the Astrantia die cutting from Susan's Specialty Paper and using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit to shape.  Susan's YouTube video for this flower can be found here  I colored my Astrantia to resemble the "Buckland" variety although it didn't photograph the color well it is more pink than purple.  Flowers were assembled using Kids Choice Glue then arranged on card front.  Berries attached along with the Happy Birthday.

Thanks for stopping by today hope that this has been inspiring!

Until next time - Happy Creating!
