All Tied Up

Hello and thanks for your visit today.
I don't know about you, but I love making flowers, but then when I make my card, I end up using smaller bought ones or the little paper clay roses and as I have a box full of die cuts and larger flowers, I have set myself a little challenge to use these up. I found a scrap of card the same colour as the flowers, so I've used it under the TH Mixed Media die cut. The  roses were shabbied up a bit with some Gesso and StarDust Stickles.  I've made a 'frame' with some string and added a little paper clay butterfly.  A little bit of stamping - and I'm 3 flowers less in the box!
My card is also a reminder that there's still 1 week left to join in with our Challenge at Try it on Tuesday, which this fortnight is 'In the Frame' - Hope you like my  'String'  frame.
I am entering this at:
  Crafting Musketeers - Anything Goes
Have a great week,
Avril xx

    You and me both Avril, I have so many bit boxes of hand made flowers and die cuts. Beautiful make with some great colours and of course not forgetting the flowers.

    Fabulous card Avril, the purple and green together are such a striking colour combo. Those roses look fantastic! I know just what you mean too, I also have a box full of flowers like that.... Well done you on setting yourself that challenge, they certainly look great on this card!

    Lovely card Avril. Yes, I have lots of flowers that I've made in box for safe keeping and when I find a card that just needs a little something extra, I look in there just in case there's a perfect match. If there is, it's like winning the lottery lol :)

    Love the colours of this one Avril! No crafting here at the moment - visitors for 10 days (2 birthdays & Tour de France) also wayyyyyy too hot to think about being indoors!

    I love your gorgeous shabby flowers, and the echoing colour behind the fab mixed media thinlit trellis. Beautiful tiny text stamping too - a really lovely card.
