A Flower Bouquet

Evening, all! Sorry I'm so late, I've spent the evening stocking the freezer and making chicken soup, and the time ran away with me! But the kitchen smells delicious!

I've been playing with my Spellbinders again:


I used the Floral Doily set, the largest circle die and the border die. The border die slots along the edge of the vertical strip and just needs touches of glue to hold it in place - thank you, Christina of Card-making Magic for the video demonstration!

I used snippets of Vintage papers from Bearly Mine Designs - it's a shame my camera skillz are so naff, because they are so pretty and don't show up well at all!

I die cut some leaves with the Spellbinders 'Foliage' dies and Distressed them in Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Pine Needles, then had a go at a flower arrangement. Here's a side view:

I have learned the hard way that an arrangement on a tall stand in Church is not an ideal inspiration for a card - the bouquet looks bottom-heavy! Never mind, we live and learn! All the flowers came from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Next time I try this I'll go for a 'posy' arrangement, I think!

Thanks for looking, and sleep tight!

love Mags B x
