Since I already had that Peek a Boo die from MFT sitting on my desk, I made a couple of git 'er done cards. This first one is using a flower die from Memory Box. I wanted to keep it fairly flat for mailing so I just punched a black dot out of card stock for the center. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
On both of these I fluffed out the flowers - but then decided to sort of smash them down again. I mean, if it's going through the mail, they're going to be smashed flat anyway so why bother with all the fluff and stuff. Right!
I'm going to enter the second card in a couple of challenges! YEA! The first challenge will be over at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. What a doll Di is - and she actually had a tiny poinsettia die like this as a prize there a while back. I wasn't lucky enough to win it, but it did go on my list of " have to have's". Glad I got it now. I'm also entering this over at the Rudolph Day Challenge. Maureen is also a sweetie and I love playing along with her challenge but usually it slips by me before I can get something created for it. Not this time though!
Thanks for stopping by.........and have a wonderful weekend!
