I made this card a few days ago for CCEE Stampers and never got it uploaded to SCS. I was following the challenge to do an Aussie card as the challenge was given by Frances Byrne, an Austrailan member of the team. One of the options I could use was to use the colors green and gold, Australia's national colors.
I went CAS and used my Cheery Lynn Designs lace rose and flourish die. I thought this die would be too long for cards at 9 1/4" but I have found so many things to do with it. In this case, I cut two dies and chopped off the ends of each and placed my flower in the corner. If I had not cut it there would be a beautiful rose at the end. I will upload a card Monday showing the complete die cut. Added a sentiment and that's all it needed.

Just beautiful, Benz. I love the die cut of course....I can't wait to see the whole thing....but I'm not going to go the their website and look for it. I'm going to let you surprise me. No pressure.
I love that sentiment too.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
