It's time for another Allsorts Challenge and Ellie has chosen the theme of 'Spring Flowers'. There are so many spring flowers to choose from for your creation, or you can always go with the 'Anything Goes' option. I love when the first snowdrops appear, as it's a sign that spring it on its way. Did you know that there are hundreds of different snowdrops? The most expensive snowdrop bulb sold for £1,850..... for one bulb! My friend's husband grows dozens of different ones so this card will be going to him next month.
I started by die cutting a frame using a die from the MFT 'Stitched Circle Scallop Edge Frames' set. I hand cut a circle of mottled green card to fit behind the frame. The flowers are a Joanna Sheen 'Garden Snowdrops' die cut, which I cut first in green. I used the die again with white card and snipped off the flower heads and laid them over the green ones. This added a little bit of dimension. I used the same green card for the mat. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up ' Best Year' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Green Oasis'.
Prizes this time are beautiful stamps and stencils from AALL and Create.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Very pretty card and just right for the challenge. Seems we both settled on snowdrops 😉
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Liz, like you eagerly await them popping their heads up. Mind you, I'd want them to last a bit longer of I paid that much!

ReplyDeleteThe snowdrop design is so delicate and perfectly captures the beauty of spring. The layered effect adds such lovely dimension, and the scalloped frame ties everything together beautifully.

Such a beautiful card you created and I am sure your friend's husband is going to love it. Had no idea that there is such a variety of them and wow, what a price for one bulb!!
ReplyDeleteI love snowdrops...they are such strong little things in the winter snow. I love your card too...very classy in the white and green.xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Snow Drops!
ReplyDeleteYour friend will appreciate this!
A really super snowdrop die Liz and I love the circular stitched inverted scallop frame to show it off, and also a pretty green marbled dp behind them, and a lovely matching green stamped birthday sentiment too. x
ReplyDeleteI knew there were lots but not that many! It's a pity that for so many you need to lift the heads up to appreciate the true beauty and colours. It's a lovely CAS design and perfect for a snowdrop grower - how wonderful to have one!
