When I saw one of our Angie’s recent posts using a new lavender die from Memory Box I remembered that I had a die from them that was lavender too. I considered CASE’ing her card but I also had the embossed background piece leftover and decided to go with that instead. I guess her card inspired me in a big way. After die cutting the flowers several times in purple, blue and green, I paper pieced the stems to make them green and then added them as you see to the card front. The stamp used for the circle window is from Impression Obsession and I’ve had it forever, and the sentiment stamps are from Joy Clair. The folder is a 3D from Tim Holtz. I added some sparkle to the flowers and to the sentiment using a Sakura glitter pen. My Mojo is better today but still not great so in my mind I haven’t done this challenge justice. Maybe I’ll get another one done before it ends. Thanks for spending time with me today.
Pretty lavender. Lovely card.

Pretty card and design. The embossing folder gives your card a rustic vibe but the lavender softens it too. A great mix.

I never thought of the background looking rustic but you are right in saying that it does. I quite like this new folder actually. I have a ton of lavender n bloom in my garden so the card suits the time of year.

Those lavender stalks are lovely. The EF really makes a nice background.

Cutting all those lavender flowers took time as did piecing the stems but it was worth it.

Thanks, I almost forgot I had that additional lavender stamp and spent quite a while trying to think what to add in the window. I’m glad I remembered it.

Thanks Gerry. I’m using my folders quite a lot more lately as I’ve figured out how to get them through my machine. It has taken a while to get the right sandwich for the different folders I have.

Thanks so much. I’m a fan of that folder myself and am happy my hubby purchased it with my other supplies for my birthday.
