Echinacea


Those who follow my blog (and I thank you most sincerely) will know I love cottage gardens.  I have tried for years and years to get one growing in my garden, but it is an ongoing battle with so many trees around us.  Last year I did manage a fairly good one   We are getting a new 'Dobbies' garden centre opening in the Spring and I can't wait to peruse all the goodies in there.  I will be filling some gaps in my cottage border so it's crammed full like it should be.  I will try echinacea this year as I like the way the flower petals hang down.   So onto the card for today - an echinacea flower head in brown has a little border of fawn card.  I then cut around the top of the flower just for a change.  Actually quite happy how this one turned out - still slightly OCD as I had to have the left hand side lined up neatly!!  My hubby keeps daring me to do a card where some bits are at an angle - oooh don't know. 
Well he dared me - so I thought right I will go and do one - whilst in the theme of brown and white -
so here goes
