Hello. I’m here to share a card which again took some patience -maybe I’m learning that I have some patience after all….

I chose this daffodil die in memory of my mum – who recently passed – her favourite flower:

I die cut an oval from a previous yellow ink smooshing background panel – glued flat.

The daffodil is from Simon Says Stamp, and I die cut it out of white card stock – and then the complications began…..

I wanted all the pieces to stay in the stem – which they did – and then I decided to add some dimension. I was thinking 3D foam squares, then foam pieces, then layering die cuts together…..

In the end, I stuck white card onto some foam, then die cut……..and then some of the pieces fell out of the die cut and wouldn’t go back in neatly…

I persevered, and then die cut another flower form the white card and placed it on top of it all – so one die cut piece on foam, and then another die cut piece on top of it all…..

I am sure there is a simpler way of doing this! Maybe layering die cuts together would have been the way to go – maybe I’ll try that another time……

I shall be entering the following challenges:
