Anything Goes with Birch Press Design in September

You're Going To Love This Challenge at Die Cut Divas!
Yes!  Anything Goes.  I have an extra project to show you!  (TAGS)


If you've never visited Birch Press Design, you should. I have found some unique designs that you won't find elsewhere.  I have used the "String" background often and I thought it would create a beautiful background for this flower.  You know I love my Copic markers, but none were used on this card.  However Distress Oxides were.  I haven't had my Squeezed Lemonade very long, but have used it quite a lot. I don't know why I was drawn to yellow and brown, but I do like the way this turned out.

The Die Cut Divas' sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of the challenge.  Our sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of our challenge.  *Note: Challenge winner must have US address.
