Lilac Demo...

Happy Monday,

I had a fabulous weekend visiting all three of the Crafters Companion stores so thank you to everyone who attended one of the workshops or demo days!

Todays cards is one that I was asked to demo the techniques form at every store so I thought I should share it!  There is only one main die for this card ( apart form the flowers etc) which means by altering the finishing touches its very economical to make lol

I started by cutting the Bee Balm background into a strip of lilac Crafts Too Linen card.  I the slotted the die into the last row of flowers and cut again ( I demonstrated this technique on the Hochanda shows so you should be able to watch this on rewind)

One cot I spray glued this onto a piece of gold dust card and then repeated the technique so I had 2 long strips.  I then cut one of these down the centre lengthwise and added one half on either side of the main piece.

I stamped the flowers onto a piece of vellum twice i coloured with Izink pigment dropper inks.  I then cut these out using the matching die and shaped the flowers adding a Crafts Too Diamond in the centre.

I added a bow and strip of ribbon accross the top before making up the spray with the Swirl leaves and the Bee Balm flowers.

I cut the outline dies form the Large Butterflies in dire of the velum and added the detail die cut in white over the top.  I shaped the wings and after adding more gems I added these to the spray in the centre.

I finally added a few pearl hatpins and finished.
