I love flowers and am lucky to own an array of older Elizabeth Craft Designs flower dies. Yes, they are not the latest dies, but in this day and age where our budgets are squeezed, look at what you already have in your stash. If you have been crafting for a while, chances are that you have something you can use. This card uses 3 different dies from their Garden Notes collection: 1190 Bouquet Stems and Branches; 1638 Crocus; 1590 Grecian Windflower.
These dies are created to allow for good representations of the real flowers. However, don't be put off by that. Use your dies how you want to, as I have in this card. You wouldn't recognise that these "should be" crocuses and windflowers.
I have also used patterned paper for the flowers rather than colouring them, but you could equally create an inky background and cut them or cut them from white and colour them. So many possibilities. I love the Bouquet Stems and Branches. Elizabeth Craft Designs made several of these type of dies.
