For FS377, Priscilla (catluvr2). I have long been a fan of Priscilla's work and her gallery is filled with a variety of wonderfully creative cards.
I had a whole page of cards saved from her gallery that were cards I thought I would like to case. It was such a hard decision but I finally settled on this one:
MY changes are:
Different die for both the flourish and the edge. (they look similar but they are different).
Different color
Different flower
I embossed the background
I added pearls
I had just borrowed these edges from my good friend and the first time I cut this the skinny one BROKE! (If you haven't used these you cut two dies together to get this edge). OMG I was in complete shock! Now I need to order a new set for her. She has lent me many dies during my time of being unable to purchase anything new and nothing has ever happened to one before. I was just sick.
ANYWAY... I cut the flowers (three) with my Cricut from The Mothers Day cartridge. I formed and glued them together. The flourishes are Marianne dies, two cut apart and a piece added to the bottom. I also cut two of the Memory Box "thanks" and glued them together. I applied some of the yellow ink to my embossing folder and I ran it through twice and off set it so the dots would fill in. I popped up the whole thing to give it some dimension.
Priscilla, enjoy this time! You are SOOOO deserving of it!
Thank you for taking a look!

Peggy, this is so gorgeous! I love the yellow and white! A lot of what everyone considers my style actually came from my love of your style. Your gallery was the first one I saved in my PC's favorites list so I would be sure to never miss any of your cards. You're always so kind and generous with your comments. Thank you for this beautiful tribute!

WOW! Priscilla's card done in Peggy style. What a win, win combination! This is gorgeous! I love the embossing folder and the bright sunny yellow. I sympathize with the broken die too, especially when it is borrowed. I love the dimension added to the sentiment by double cutting it!

Oh, Peggy...as the saying goes, "Fresh as a daisy". Your card is beautiful with the various die cuts and the dimensional daisy. The dotted EF was a perfect choice and the whole card has such a pleasant and happy feeling.

How beautiful, Peggy! Your die cutting and embossing is gorgeous.It broke! OMGoodness! I never cut them together and this is the first I've heard of this. I once had a SB border die break just removing it off of the super sticky tape they use on the inserts. I emailed them, and they replaced it!
