Watercolor Larkspurs - CAS Floral Wedding Stationery

Here is a classy soft lavender wedding thank you card in a CAS style.
These larkspurs are some of my favorites from the Papertrey Ink "Year of Flowers" collection.

 

I have always wanted to grow larkspurs myself, but there just
isn't room in the garden at the moment.
Not least because chocolate mint, spearmint, lemon balm and Greek oregano
all escaped their designated areas via runners over the winter
(OK, OK... so the oregano escaped a long time ago
and I gave up.  The lemon balm spread primarily through seeds.
But anyone who grows mint will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Those buried pot solutions last for 1 maybe 2 seasons, until the plastic dry-rots.).
I need to learn to make soap, really.  Because I have a perpetual plethora of mint.
I took my pregnant self out to do battle with the jungle of herbs out there this morning
and although I'm quite sore this afternoon, the mint might just remember
who's boss on this little acre.

Well...maybe.  For awhile.
Like a week...




The die-cut butterflies are from DCWV but I trimmed them even more closely
and added Glossy Accents on the body.

ZIG glue pen + Superfine gold embossing powder = nice deckled edge!
