Tilda Love's Lavender

Throughout history, humans have ascribed specific meanings to flowers and used flowers to convey meanings. This practice grew especially popular during the Victorian era, when people selected the flowers within a bouquet as carefully as they would choose the words for a letter.

In the language of flowers, lavender flowers denote purity, silence, devotion and caution.

Tilda is totally enjoying her lavender flowers and all the purity they show.
I created this card using Copic pens and a Copic Air Brush.
Nestie elebrate square and Mediun Round Circle. Flowers from K&Company. CS from SU, pearls and ribbon from my stash.

Have a great week everyone and enjoy your designing time.
Blessings, Doreen

    Hello Doreen, I agree with Darlene about the thought put into your cards. Love the coloring and have you read the book "The Language of Flowers"? It was a very good fictional read.
    Hugs,
