Oodles (Buckets) of Flowers

Here is the card I mentioned briefly yesterday.  It has taken quite a while because - as you will see - there is a great deal of die-cutting involved.  I have loved creating it and I think this is my favourite card (so far) of this year.

All the salient parts are from and by Carnation Crafts.  I got the idea from a card in their gallery but have changed some things.  I decided that I wanted the white lacy background to look more like a trellis holding up the pot stand so I use a 'brick wall' as the background - which I think works.

The dies and vignettes come from the 'Arrangement Maker' collection.  There are oodles of flowers and greenery and pots and vases.  So many to choose from.  The sentiments I made by printing out many different  ones on  white card using different colours and fonts.  I then used the smallest rectangular die from the 'Shabby' set of dies and cut them out.  I used a font colour to blend with the the brick wall. These are quick and simple and can be kept in a little box ready to shuffle through when you need something in a hurry.

I hope you like it as much as I did making it.
