Hellebore Flower Card with Fern and Fog Background

Select a coordinating page from the Fern and Fog bumper paper pack that complements your chosen flower colour. Choose a design that will work well as a background for your hellebore card.

Place the preprinted Hellebore flower paper onto the die plate, ensuring the design aligns correctly. If the alignment is not quite right, flip the paper over as it is double-sided.

Run the paper and die through your cutting machine to cut out the flower petals and leaves. Remove the cut pieces from the backing sheet.

Remove all the die-cut hellebore flower pieces from the cutting plate. Carefully pop out each petal and flower element from the woodgrain patterned card.

Curl the yellow and brown flower petals inward using your fingers to create dimension and shape for the hellebore blooms.

Use a white ink pad to soften the edges of the hellebore petals, blending away any harsh lines to create a more natural appearance.

Glue the petals together to form the complete flower shape. Arrange the petals in a circular formation, overlapping them slightly to create a natural hellebore bloom.

Mount the Fern and Fog patterned paper onto a cream card blank using adhesive.

Adhere the layered hellebore flower to the centre of your card front using adhesive.

Roll additional petals around a pen or quilling tool to create extra dimension and bulk out the flower centre. Use the pink and cream petals from the floral paper to add volume.

Add complementary leaves and foliage from the die-cut floral sheet around the hellebore flower to complete the arrangement. Layer different leaf shapes and sizes to create depth and balance in your design.

For an optional glass-like finish, apply colourless glitter or sparkle media to the white circular element on your card.
