Hi Lovelies..
Today, my card is one I've wanted to make for ages - I've had the die set quite a while, but I knew it would take a bit of organisation and lots of die-cutting etc to get done.... which put me off starting it for a little bit!
Anyways... I got around to it this weekend... and I was right! My desk looked like a tip by the time I'd finished with lots of little bits of coloured card etc! It's a large die set, so firstly, I cut a magnetic sheet to keep all the dies in their place while I used them - and hey - I didn't lose one! I used Distress Inks onto white card for some of the colours, and used pre-coloured card for others. I laid all the flowers onto a diecut oval and adhered them slowly until I was happy with their placement. I added the oval to a piece of embossed cardstock then onto my card base, and lastly, added a small sentiment that I'd die cut from gold glitter cardstock, with a white shadow. Finally, I added a touch of gold glitter glue on to the centres of the flowers.... better seen in real life.

I've got to say, it took me a fair amount of time to complete this card - both for the design thinking and then the making, but I didn't sit at it for long each time - life was busy, so my card making takes a back seat!
And now I've seen what it looks like finished, I know I'll make more! I've got a lot of flowers and leaves left still to use, so another one at least, will be easy!
Hope you like...
Hugs
