Lilac Blossom

As the spring goes I can't help making a card that is soft, feminine and happy. 

I have given a try to my new Hydrangea Blooms die by Poppystamps and found out it is also great to create lilacs as the flowers have four petals and vary in size, just like real lilac blooms.

Oak Wreath

Red Poppy

We are right in the middle of spring and there are so many flowers already, but much more are still to come. 

I thought that an ornate white frame would be just right for the large red poppy and the background is a 3 layer one - sheet music+vellum+lattice.
