In the spirit of the Challenge, I have made a card . . . . but NEVER again with this system, I fear! (If I didn't have the patience to use it at 50 when I bought it - what made me think I could conquer it a few days before I turn 70) - It took me two tries to get all the cuts right, folded & tucked with out tearing one off - I skipped the zigzag edging and opted for a die cut circle instead to cut my frustration level added a few punched flowers for filler then stamped and embossed the bible verse. The End!!!

Your card is beautiful Linda!! Congratulations on achieving that difficult pattern. There are just some things I never attempt and something like this is probably one of them. An early happy birthday to you!! You look marvelous!! :>)

Grrr, I hate the way the mobile version of the gallery doesn't let us zoom in. Linda, I've always thought these looked beautiful. I'm glad you found the patience to make this...now you can purge the template! It looks really beautiful on that swirled purple background, very mandala-like.

You did a fabulous job and I really love how these die cuts turn out. Too bad they are a lot of work but I think the end result you achieved really made it worth the work. This is so gorgeous!!
