SUNNY SIDE UP FLOWERS

  Hi friends!

Playing along with this WORD ART WEDNESDAY Challenge 

Anything Goes Weeks #746-747 - I’m using their verse prompt

(ends 4/14).

UPDATE: I got a Top 3! 😃

and this NBUS Challenge #85 (ends 4/30?)

and this THE PAPER FUNDAY Challenge #86 

Anything Goes with Optional Die Cuts/Punches (ends 5/3)

It’s my first time putting these dies to use; I purchased them last year I think, during the Spellbinders warehouse sale. The discount was very generous, and I especially love the hardiness and cheerful vibe of anemones - we have a little patch of white ones I look forward to seeing come up and bloom every year.  *TIP* (If you leave all your newest purchases in a clear bin near your workspace til you use them at least once, you’ll never run the risk of filing them into the proper category unused, never to see the light of day again!)

This card came together super easily so I don’t think there’s anything earth-shattering to say about it! Just that the dies cut beautifully, and I’m pretty happy with the color mix from my random stash of card stock. Pre-textured pink card stock for a little more interest.  *TIP* (which I forgot to do! To get rid of those pesky release dot marks you get when die cutting, any tool with a round ball on the end, like a flower shaper, or scoring tool, works wonderfully. To avoid getting the card stock shiny with the circular rubbing, you may want to use a thin sheet of paper in between.)
