I had no trouble cutting the base - from that point on it was hours of exasperation! First I didn't have any DP that I liked in a large enough size. Then I "lost" a die - found it after an hour of hunting. Cut the inside and the glue stuck prematurely in the wrong spot - had to rip it off. Cut another piece, and adhered it to the inside. I spent hours trying to decorate it. Not happy with the results, but happy I finished! Wish I'd had a DP I like. Not worth explaining the process or naming the dies.

Wow, what a gorgeous front! I like your flower a lot - with those colours and the sort of "spiky" feel, it reminds me so much of sea holly. Love the sparkly brad for the centre too.

Very pretty! The framing is perfect! You would never know you had difficulties making this card! I know how frustrating it is not to have the right dp! I love this!

Sorry it was a lousy day for you in the craft room! When others describe it, it's funny. When it happens here, not funny at all. I LOVE that flower, Priscilla and find your card just beautiful. The embossed and die cut framing is perfect and love the flower against all white! You always add those little extras, like the forming of the petals.
Priscilla, I can so sympathize with you. It seems I often loose a die in the mess on my desk. Or....loose a die cut piece that was just in front of me and then disappeared. LOL! with all of your bard experience you certainly turned out a gorgeous card.
