Ikebana with Memory Box dies

"Japanese Art of Flower Arrangement"


Hello My dear stamper and crafty friends!
Inspired by the delicate flower dies from Memory Box from the New collection winter 2015...
I made this "Ikebana" arrangement.

At first I was leaning towards making a field of lavender flowers so dear to me and reminiscent of the "Provence/Côte d'Azur" (French Riviera)  where I used to live...
but in my Japanese garden, then I saw suddenly this image and I went for it...

Use only parts of a whole background die to make the frame...in this case I use segments form the "Bengal Background"
and curled the "long stem lavender"...using as a vase the "delicate nest" die
