Hi everyone. I apologize for my lack of blogging/visiting lately, but I haven't been feeling well and the kids have also had illnesses. Nevertheless, I put on my big girl panties and went to an art day/sleepover to celebrate my friend Bonnie's retirement. I needed something simple to work on while I was there, so I did a bunch of die cutting beforehand and grabbed my Prima Lavendar pad to play with.
Now, my friend Carol, insisted that I do a demo of this flower so she could make a video for her Instagram party this week. I've posted it HERE. We would love for you to make some flowers and join us on Instagram! Tag your posts #flowertime2018 and make sure to follow us @sewpaperpaint and @carolinasweetlee . To see all of my tutorials/posts on handmade flowers click HERE.
Carol is also giving away a Tattered Florals die to one lucky follower, so make sure you check that out HERE.
I won't bore you with too much blab, since there are tons of pics for these three cards...
That beautiful lacy flower edge die is by Stampin' Up! and was from my amazing friend Debbie of Secret Stamper. I love it so much Debbie - thank you!!! <3
The last one has some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, as I ran out of purple handmade flowers.
I hope you like them. I've had these images forever, so I can't share links or anything for them. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to read your comments. Hugs, Autumn

Oh Autumn what sweet Easter images, the contrast of black and white with the added colour reminds me of old photography and how they would colour those slides.
