Layered Asters
Hi bloggers! The next die set that I'm shwcasing is the Layered Asters. This set has ten dies, including several sizes of the Aster flower plus a half flower, stems with leaves and a couple of centres. These dies make a lovely bouquet or even a potted type plant as shown in this sample. Asters look beautiful in a wide range of colours too. This set would make a great addition to your crafty supplies. If this one is floating your bat, then you just need to leave a quick comment on this post and you will be included in the drawing to win the collection. (That would make a great New year's present, now wouldn't it!) The next post will be on the blog at 3pm today. I hope you can join us back here then! All for now. Sue x
Good afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, yes it would be a lovely New Year gift wouldn't it, good luck everyone. The Layered Asters are such a beautiful flower in the pots, there are so many colours to choose from, mix and matching them as you go, brilliant idea.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
