Floral Spray

I had such fun creating these flowers.  My friend, Alison, came over yesterday evening for a play and we had a lovely time crafting and chatting.  My Mum has lent me the Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and Spiral Flower Three which came as part of her Create and Craft Pick of the Week bundle to play with but  I'm definitely going to have to get those flower dies myself, they're gorgeous!
I made the A5 blank from pink pearl card and the patterned papers are Papermania Capsule Collection in Parkstone Pink.  I used two different Martha Stewart punches to create the lace borders.
The sentiment stamp is Papermania from a Pumpkin and Aubergine set.
The flowers were all made from Core'dinations cardstock from the Distress and Whitewash collections using the dies already mentioned, Marianne rolled rose dies and a Woodware punch.  I finished off by adding pearls, gems or glass nuggets to the flower centres.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Truly, Madly, Crafty - handmade flowers
The Pink Elephant - flowers
Sketchbook Saturday - #54 - sketch
Wags 'n' Whiskers - #76 - say it with flowers
