Lilac Flowers

Hello All,

Today I thought I'd share a card that expands on the flowers and foliage I made in white last week in this post.  I got a lot of questions about what I had used for foliage, well the answer is the flourishes form Spellbinders Gold Elements One.

The reason why I don't always answer questions in the next days post is that due to work commitments several of my posts are written on a Sunday (my one day off) and so, with my evening job, I don't really have time to change or add anything before the post goes live.  Monday mornings my craft room looks like the end of day at the Harrods sale as I do a lot of crafting on Sundays!

In this card I have used the letterpress technique (see yesterdays post of the tutorial) to give the flourish some lilac highlights.  I also rubbed the same ink, I use a chalk eye for this as it has a lovely soft finish, on the petals to give some definition.







The remainder of this one is made up with other pieces from the gold dies however the sentiment is stamped, in the same chalk ink, on the centre oval taken from Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles.




 The sentiment is 2 separate pieces I stamped together from an old Creative Expression set I've had for years.  Enjoy...
