Copper Wash Bucket with Mock Orange



Hi my crafty friends!

Today I have another card using Spellbinders Susan's Garden new release "Through the Arbor".  I have used the S5-615 Wash Bucket again and did it in copper and filled it with the  Mock Orange S3-496 from new release.  It is another 6" square tent fold card.

Card base was made from 100# white cardstock.  The 1st mat was cut 5-3/4" square attached to card base using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.   Second mat is black cardstock embossed using Bamboo 3D Embossing Folder from Painter's Garden Collection and it was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper to cut 14 - 15 Mock Orange flowers and leaves were cut from watercolor paper.  All were colored with alcohol markers.  Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape everything.  Susan's YouTube video for creating the Mock Orange can be found here.   
For the Wash Bucket I cut 1 from Copper Cardstock and 1 from watercolor paper.  I attached the Copper bucket to the watercolor one using Bearly Art Glue.  I used sandpaper to rough the finish and edges.  I lightly brushed on some dark brown ink in different areas then I used a turquoise color ink to brush on in areas.  I also bent it in places to try to give it some dents.  I just kept playing with it until I liked the looks of it.  I did also use to copper rub on to color edges.  I used my fingers to shape the bucket to round it out I then added dimensional tape in lower center back.  I attached to card front using Bearly Art Glue around all outer edges leaving center opening of wash bucket free of glue.  Using Kids Choice Glue I started building my bouquet.  Susan has a YouTube video for creating the bucker found here.

Thanks for stopping by today I do hope that you are inspired to build a bouquet in an old wash bucket.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden new release "Through the Arbor" should hit retailers this week in the US.

Until next time - Happy Creating!

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective p...

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...
