Basket of Lilacs

I love creating beautiful lilacs using Susan's Garden Notes Lilac die set.  Also used on this card are Garden Notes Ivy Vine, Ladder Fern, Leafy Berry Branch, and a new container coming soon in Susan's new release.

Use the Garden Notes Lilac die set to create 6 lilac stems.  I used purple card stock to die cut the small flowers and shaded some of them pink, using PanPastels.  Shape the flowers using Susan's Flower Tool Kit and attach to the Lilac stem using Kids Choice Glue.

Use the Garden Notes Leafy Berry Branch and die cut one branch.  Add White Nuvo Crystal Drops for the berries.  This branch is cut apart to arrange around the of the flowers.

Use the Garden Notes Ladder Fern die set and die cut two ferns.  Shape with the Flower Tool Kit.

Use the Garden Notes Ivy Vine and die cut 4 ivy.  Color the leaves using a green marker and shape with the Flower Tool Kit.  Cut apart to arrange under the flowers.

The container was die cut using white card stock and colored using PanPastels.  The band around the container was colored using Perfect Pearls.

Use a cotton tip and dip it in Ranger's Perfect Medium and rub it along the band.  Use bronze Perfect Pearls and a soft brush to create the metal band.  

Attach the container to the card, using dimensional tape in the center on the basket and Kids Choice Glue around the sides and bottom.  Leave the top of the container open so you can tuck the flowers inside the basket.  

Arrange the Ladder Fern, Leafy Berry Branch, Ivy and Lilaces in the basket.

Use a light gray marker to create a shadow along the bottom of the container.

Susan will have a live Susan's Garden Club Video introducing her new release this coming Wednesday on Facebook.  The link will be provided on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Family Facebook page.
