Hello everyone,
So a post or two ago I used a flower die or showed a card using the die and said, I forgot how much I loved this die set, so you know what happened.....yes, I fished it out and went crazy..
So Bockingford water coloured paper, die cutting,lots of it, and water painting, and starting off by sharing the pink one...
So pink, First coat and second coat...
paints are looking a bit manky but still do the job.
Gave a bit more depth by not using so much water for this final touch up...
Got carried away here, but that's okay..
Yikes, she's layered up pretty good...
Finished main rose...
Tray full ready to go with the leaves and veins and splatters and little gold centers..
Displayed on my tray......now what...I always do this and it looks good but then I have to move it and it never comes out the same..even if I take a picture to copy, nope, not the same!!!
Die cut the bird cage and added chubby Bees, one inside one on top..
'Some tule tucked and glued behind some leaves, just makes it easier to poke in behind
the flower display..
Planned to add the cage onto the top of the flowers,
but then does anything go as planned?
Chose papers..
After distressing the edges of the panels,
layered then up and started adding leaves etc...
Packing, I had this bit and I stood on it, deliberately stood on it
to make it flat but still dimensional...
Notice the string on the cage went and I found this little piece of necklace chain with closure so used that intsead..
Added some stamped and fussy cut envelopes...

Yes, it is very dimensional, but still went through at $3.40NZ postage..
And here she is, all done and forgot that this was not an easel after all...ha ha ha..
the easel will come tomorrow now, or I could have changed the title, but then there was no fun in that..
So easel cards will start tomorrow..
And look...very chuffed once again..
and seen I let you down with no easel..I'll leave you with this..
a very proud Great Granmother am I ..
