Hi All… Nancy here with a fun summer-time card.  It’s no surprise… I LOVE creating cards with flowers.  Most of my stamps (if we don’t count Christmas stuff) are floral sets.  I fell deep in love with the My Favorite Things Stitched Blooms dies a while back and love playing with them!  I have never cut the dies apart so when I want to play I usually cut all of the flowers out in a variety of colours.  You’ll see the leftovers from todays card popping up for a while.

For this card I used some smaller scraps on my desk… I honestly have no idea what colours I used.  I cut out as many flowers as I could and just played around with placement on the card front until I had something I liked.  I glued the layers of flowers together as I went along.  I then grabbed a piece of Press ‘n Seal (yes, from the grocery store) to pick up the spray of flowers and flipped it over.  I added glue to the back and then carefully put it back on top of my card.  The Press ‘n Seal is a great way to keep your die cuts in the positions you liked them… I’ve tried doing it so many other ways but this works the best in my opinion.
