in love with flowers!!







I think I am in love... nah but I do love the purchase I made of these lovely dies from MariianneCrafti

they are a bit of a faff to remove from the dies once cut but thanks to a tip from Rusty(MSE) I left a thin paper in the die and then used the paper I wanted over the top and it does make it easier and the finished flowers are so beautiful it makes it worth it. The swirly bit is so useful too and just adds that something to the card.

The first card I made using them is the last one for my Cancer Research challenge box which was well recieved yesterday at the shop.
I should like to enter this card into the following challenges
Craftalicious Challenge Pearls and Swirls see challenge side bar
Craft Your Days Away Favourit things see challenge side bar
