4th August, 2015

A flower cascading card

Oh my !! August here already, just one more month and heading into Autumn.  We have a saying here in South Yorkshire, home of the very famous Leger race, " the last horse of the race comes home with snow on it's tail !  "  Often very true, not snow, but a certain change in the weather.

So here is my lilac cascading card, oh I so enjoyed making this card, as lilac and purple are one of my favourite colours, adore African Violet .  I made the card and used Maja design papers, always excellent quality.  I stamped out the flowers from a Heartfelt Creations stamp, some big, some smaller, misted them and a tad of distress ink and cut them out, squashed them up a bit, layered them and added lots of little purple beads in their middles.

 
 I die cut lots and lots of white leaves , Marianne die, added dried ivory gypsophila among the leaves.
 
 
Had just bought some more white pearls strips so came in very useful to put down all the sides. 
                                             Here's a closer peep at the centre of the flowers.
