Ok so when I saw the challenge today I thought 'I can't do that... I don't have any image dies'. But then as I was looking through the gallery I saw that someone had used her Cricut and I then remembered... oh yeah! I have one of those!! You may be wondering how one can forget she has a Cricut but my DH bought it for me for Christmas and I rarely use it (shame on me!!). I'm such a stamping addict I never seem to reach for it! Well, I discovered today that it has a LOT of cool shapes on it! I used the Storybook cartridge to cut the branch and the background shape. I sponged over the branch to get a bit of colour variation. I added butterflies and buttons and stamped a sentiment (yay - can't be without my stamps!) from Verve in the corner.
I'm quite pleased how this one came out... despite the shortage of stamping!!
TFL!

Glad to see that you dusted that Cricut off!! I don't use mine nearly enough, either, but that Storybook cartridge is AWESOME (this is really beautiful, too!)! Nicely done!
