for a while now and when I saw the above challenge I knew that it was time to CASe it.

So here is my card for this challenge.

 

 

Initially I pricked the pattern. Then I positioned the circle die and fussy cut the flowers. Next I ran the card stock through the Cuttlebug but only as far as the flowers and then I reversed it back out again. I didn't want the marks from the die all over my flowers. Lastly I stitched the flowers and put the card together. The sentiment is computer generated. The glitter is to hide the section where my cutting and the circle don't quite match up.
