Thank You

A thank you card for my blogging friend, Janice, who sent me a fabulous die which I used on this card. Janice knew I had been looking for this die, without success, and she managed to find one and sent it to me as a surprise gift!  I must admit, I did a little Happy Dance when I opened the envelope! 

The die cuts a frame with rectangular apertures and I used the die again with patterned paper and inlaid the patterned rectangles in the red frame.  The flower is punched using an Xcut flower punch, which also embosses, and I added a black punched centre.  The leaf is a Sue Wilson ' Petite Vinery' die cut and a sentiment peeloff finished off my card.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Cuttlebug Mania Challenge ~ Thank you so much
Simon Says Monday Challenge ~ Thanks/Thanksgiving

    This is such a beautiful card! I really love how you paired the delicate floral background with those bold red stripes. It's very striking! The colors also pair fabulously together and the whole thing came together just right. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
