LAVENDER BIRTHDAY CARD


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.
Well last week went super fast as usual.
Is it time speeding up, or is it me slowing down so much. 
I think it's me slowing down .

Today I have a card made with 3 challenges in mind.




This is a 8"x7" size card.
The background papers were a download from Cuddly Buddly Crafts, and I thought they were lavender plants,but on a closer inspection I think they maybe bluebells.
The birds and the small postcards were a free download from C&C.
I distressed all the papers and Lavender card with scissors, and added Tea Die DI to the papers.
On the flowers I used some snippets of white card inked with Milled Lavender DI, but it doesn't show much on the photo.
I used stickles on the flowers and leaves, but that doesn't show much either.

Thank you for your visit, and your precious time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

You are not slowing down Jenny - I almost certain that there are fewer than 24 hours in a day now! Got to be that because otherwise why do days go so quickly? Great card card whatever the flowers! You know what Shakespeare said " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet". Hugs Christine xx

Beautiful card. So much detail to look at. Your flowers are lovely that you have made and I love the scrolls and swirls intertwining with them. Not sure of the background papers either but
I do know they are not roses! Lol. Gorgeous make my friend. Inside is as good too. Your cards are always so visually pleasing. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.
P.s. As you have used Snippets don't forget about Di's Craftu pixie workshop. .

Lovely layers, colors and what a pretty theme you selected for this luscious card. The iridescent colors of the bird are so pretty with the other details too. The floral bouquet is beautiful, and loved the torn paper treatment, along with all the other extra embellies you've tucked around this card. Combining all the extras takes skill to make it work well, and you surely did! TFS & Hugs
