The Card Chain Challenge Reveal for February

Card Chain Challenge

Time for the Big Reveal! 

Here are the options I had available to try.

As soon as I saw DIE CUTTING, I knew I'd make a card using one or more die cuts. 
I have used this Poppy Stamps die cut before, but I thought I'd just cut out the leaves from green cardstock.  I forgot that I could have cut a center from white cardstock until I had already glued all the flowers on.  Of course this was also after I found out I had glued the top flowers on thinking it was the bottom of the card and had to carefully lift the butterflies where the daisies are now placed.  
The life of a card maker.  hehehe
I found a sentiment that really fit perfectly for the center of the card.  But here's where the best surprise was, the friend die.  I love how you can use either the individual letters or an outline of the letters.  I die cut the bottom layer (in white) three times to make sure it made an adequate stop for my easel card.

Supplies:
Poppy Stamps Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel card dies
Brass & Bliss Hugs (never used before)
Memory Box Friend Daily Script (never used before)
Nuvo  Crystal Drops - Gloss - Moroccan Red
Copic markers
Vagabond die cut machine

So many times I've put something in the wrong location - you made me laugh with your card creation story, Arlene! But it ended up being a wonderful easel card - so pretty in the green with the framing flowers! Julia xx
