Lilac Wreath

Hellllooooooo bloggers, I'm home from a lovely holiday in North Wales and ready for some crafting!  We had a wonderful time staying in the village of Portmeirion but I didn't half miss all my papery bits and bobs!
I made this card before I went away but didn't have time to blog it.
The stamp is a Woodware one and has been coloured with Promarkers and decoupaged up after shaping the flowers with an embossing tool.  I added some yellow glitter flock to the flower centres for some touchy-feelly texture.  The sentiment is a Papermania one and I finished the wreath with some lilac shimmer dots.
The papers are Papermania Henbury Lane mixed with some Bazzil card and Core'dinations which has been embossed with a Sheena Douglass folder.  The butterflies were fussy cut from the Henbury Lane papers.
Ribbon, bow, large green pearls and some more shimmer dots and it's done.


I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Penny Black and More - summer blooms
I Love Promarkers - #125 - circles
Joanna Sheen - going round in circles
Stamptacular Sunday - #172 - wings and bling

    I didn't know you could stay in port merion either - we've had a day there and its a fab place. Come in Number 6 - we are watching you!!! (The prisoner - for those of a younger age). The card is lovely - those flowers are so beautiful.

    This is such a pretty card Wendy. I love all the layering and the lilac and green colours work beautifully together. I also love the raised floral circle. It makes the image stand right out on your card.
    Thank you for joining us at penny Black and More this month. good luck in our prize draw and we hope to see you again next month.

    Looks like a really pretty place to stay, how ever did you cope without gluing something for 7 days! I think I would start to get the shakes. Thank you for your really nice comment. I would know any one of your cards if someone tested me on a bunch. I love your style, you have perfect attention to detail Wendy, and I love my card you gave me. Michelle xx
