Flowers Galore

Saturday again so you know that means a new challenge at Allsorts where Lolo has picked 

Flowers Galore as your prompt.

I know I say it regularly but my wonderful team mates certainly make me think out of the box with my makes and this one was no exception. 

My "go to" is cute so floral is quite alien to me BUT my crafty treasure trove came to the rescue!! A long time ago I subscribed to the Julie Makes Collections by Craftwork cards and dug out the Tapestry set that was chock full of gorgeous florals. I used the suggestion sheet to help me put my card together and this is what I made. I have lots of these left so will definitely be playing again.



 I inked the edges of the pretty flowers for a bit of definition on this gatefold card and added a touch of crystal glitter here and there for some interest.

If florals aren't your thing, you can always take the Anything Goes path. 

See you the other side of the weekend xx

This is just gorgeous with all those pretty flowers and patterns. I love how the flower centers all coordinate with that pretty designer paper used on the "doors" of the card opening. Way to use your flowers to their full potential!
