This trio of Spring Bouquet flowers has been created using some double sided paper stock that came free with a craft magazine that I brought quite a while ago. Using my Pastel theme I decided that I would use my Tonic Studios Window Basket Die and cut out the same shape from all three double sided sheets. This would give me plenty of pattern combinations when I put the cards together. The only additional paper I used was the plain green sprigs which I used to break up the pattern overload a bit!
After I had cut out the Window Basket shapes I then used the remaining paper to create the rectangle window for the front of the card using my square die. I kept hold of the scrap square from the middle and used my button punch to create the button embellishment for the front of the window basket.
Whilst lots of patterns aren't my favourite choice I rather liked the pastel chintz effect for a Spring/Easter card. I did think about adding a greeting tag onto the front but had a real problem trying to choose where to place this so I ended up leaving the cards blank and will stamp a sentiment inside when I am ready to use them.
