Blooms and butterfly

Hello crafters.  Playing around with some dies today.

I love flowers and there's nothing nicer than strolling around the garden admiring nature's floral gorgeousness!  Or adding some flowers to a project :-)

I have to admit I go weak at the knees when I see flowers - real ones or dies - letting me loose in a garden centre, especially if it has a craft shop is very dangerous!!

Nevertheless I have been treating myself to some dies from the lovely Sara Signature range.  I cut up some Hobby House pearl flower strings to attach to the centre of the flowers and the butterfly. It wasn't too painful (lol) and I think these finish off the flowers very nicely.

Items used:

DP: First Edition New Bloom

Dies: Sara Sig. Pretty Petals and In Bloom; Tonic butterfly frame; MD Anja's Vintage Frame (inner die);

Poppystamps Daphne Butterfly

Pearl flowers: Hobby House

Challenges:

Inky Chicks #70 use 5 or more flowers

Lemon Shortbread #21 anything goes

TTCRD anything goes

Crafting with Friends #26 anything goes

Simply Papercraft #34 anything goes

As You Like It   favourite papers - I love so many different brands but if I HAVE to choose then mine are First Edition.  These are the ones I use the most. I love the colour palettes they have and the different finishes within each paper pad : foiling, glitter, linen effect, pearlescent, gloss etc. I look forward to each new release.

Thanks so much for visiting and any comments you care to leave.

Happy crafting

Fatima
