Full many a flower is born to blush unseen… ~Jane Austen

Flowers

Hello everyone! We're almost at the end of our Blog Blitz and my teamies and I really hope to have given you plenty of ideas! But you still have the opportunity to win one of those fabulous new dies and in this case it will be the Mod Flower Border, which is such a delicately, refined and intricate die. Here's how I used it in my cameo of Jane Austen:

        

I first cut out the silhouette of Jane Austen, who happens to be one of my favourite authors, out of sturdy white paper and chalked the edges. The Mod Flower Border serves as a lacey collar or necklace here, since the ladies back then used to wear such pretty laces and I thought this border die would be perfect to mimick just that. I created the background by inking up some Memory Box texture stencils, but I first printed some quotes on my paper. I then added liquid pearls all around the edge. Are you able to resist this beautiful die? No? Then please leave your comment on this post and who knows you may find yourself the lucky winner of this gorgeous border die! 😉 Good luck!

        

For my cameo card I used the following supplies:
