There is a new challenge over at Papertake Weekly - sponsored by Lili of the Valley the challenge is anything goes with the option of using a monotone colour scheme - I really enjoyed making this easel card in shades of lavender - my number 2 favourite colour (pink is my favourite) and was amazed how it all came together.
I used a LOTV 'glamorous gardening' die cut, which I trimmed slightly and matted onto lavender card cut with a nestie. The lace is wide 40mm white cotton and the ribbon is sky mauve.
I added lilac and white 13mm saddlestitch on the base, hung a watering can charm on the top with plum Divine Bakers Twine and distressed the papers with some purple ink. The flowers are from stash, all in shades of lavender and I added clear gems to the centre of each with glossy accents.
The sentiment was stamped in purple ink and is by Papertrey Ink
I always have problems finding pretty papers in lavender/lilac/purple shades but have got some on order and can't wait for them to arrive!
See you soon, Mary G x
