# Baby's Breath Flower # Black Eyed Susan Strip

Spring Bouquet for Mum by Julie Lavalette


Hi Everyone, it's Julie here today. Spring has definitely sprung here in Scotland and this weekend we also celebrate Mothering Sunday. So I decided with all this in mind to make a Mother's Day Card.



I started by layering up paper which was distressed at the edges and the Mini Italian Flourish was cut out in white card and inked with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.

  
I then layered on the co-ordinating Italian Flourish Doily which I had folded in to a concertina and opened back up to give texture, it had also been inked in the same way. You will see I used the Trellis Die for the stems of my flowers.


I Love these Bows, a perfect accompaniment to a bouquet of flowers.


I got carried away and forgot to take some more ongoing pictures, so here are the close ups. Notice I have some closed buds as well as flowers about to open to add a realistic look to the flowers.


My Baby's Breath Flowers and Tiny Flower Kit I added a little stickles to their centres.



A couple of angled shots to give you an idea of the depth of the card.


The finished card once again.
