The Life Within The Seed - Donna's Flower Book

Hello Crafty Friends!

We have one final project for you this month..... a beautiful flower book from Donna that uses those lovely flower cut aparts in the BoBunny Cottontail collection. Just brilliant!

Hi all,

Here we are again for a project that I loved creating.. A book filled with wonderful 

images of flowers and their names from the Bo Bunny Cottontail paper pack.. It was so easy to create..
(Warning: a heavy pictured post)

I embossed two pieces of cardstock one watercolour paper and one normal cardstock, then I rubbed Versa Mark ink over the raised edges and clear embossed it..

I sprayed the gorgeous (I have to get more colours) Distress Oxide Spray - Cracked Pistachio, wiped it over with a cloth and dried it.. Loved how it looks in real life..

For the book you will need an A4 piece of strong cardstock, fold in half, turn and fold in half again.. Bring the ends to the middle crease and burnish both sides.. Open up and you will have 8 panels as shown.. Cut from the first score line to the third score line then cut down the middle from the cut line as shown.. 

Fold over and open up as shown.. Decide if you are going to have any tags at all and adhere the book together to allow for tags..I adhered the bottom only on the two sides. 

Cut our your panels from a piece of Bo Bunny cut-away cardstock and two pieces of heavy cardstock and two pieces of the gorgeous paper in the collection.

Fold over the paper on your covers and adhere the inside..

Using the gorgeous stencil, spray a little of the Distress Oxide over it and let dry..

Not a lot of spray but it looks brilliant..

Cut a panel from the embossed card you did earlier and adhere to the cover.. Glue the cover and back to the book pages..

Adhere your cut-aparts to the pages and decorate the cover of the book..

The finished book...

A little Tea Dye Distress ink on the wooden flourish and flowers looks brilliant..

The back of the book..

The gorgeous cover that I loved creating..

Love how this sits and opens..

The book pages..

The flaps or pages as you open the book..

Fully opened..

The two tags that are in each cover..
