This is for today's Ways to Use it challenge which was to incorporate foil. I used a Spellbinder's button die and cut it out from a soda can. I also punched a circle out for the flower center, then dotted it with green stickles for some sparkle. This is also for Sunday's featured stamper--JustPaintingAround. If you haven't seen her gallery, you're really missing something! Michelle was so sweet and answered some questions about her fabulous technique, so I thought I'd give it a try. Wow does it ever require some thought. I hope I did you proud Michelle. TFL

Wow, Terri, is this ever magnificent! Yikes, girl, your creativity was out in left field today with this one. I read your description and holy moly, it sounds like you were out of your comfort zone: girl, if this is what you can do when you're doing something new, I cant wait to see what you come up with next! Your flower is gorgeous and I'm totally overwhelmed with the sky/grass scene ~ you've matched everything perfectly. Whoa, what a grand card this is my friend.
