Happy for you !

This card was supposed to post whilst I was away in Alaska, but my scheduling clearly didn't work so I'm sharing now.  

 I love this new set called Bouquet Blooms. It has a set of coordinating dies called Gatefold Blossoms which allow you to make not surprisingly gatefold cards. However on this card I haven't used the gatefold but the flower dies.  One is a large die that cuts out the flower corsage, for want of a better word,  on this card and you also have individual dies to then add depth to the design with each flower.  

I've used subtle colours and teamed with some of the new colour family designer paper stacks which are now 6" x 6" and very useful with stripe and dotty/spotty designs for any occasion.  

I also used a layering circle to cut out the circle design and it's centre to add some depth.  

You'll see I've added a small banner at the top left and this is to share a top tip. When you finish your card and get an inky finger splodge you can cover it with the reverse design and use the piece you cut off to create the shape of the paper on the main card. There is always a way to save the day! 

Lovely bright flowers on a not so sunny summer's day. 

Big hugs all
