Flowers to Die for

At LESS IS MORE this week, the theme is Punches or Dies.  I've chosen dies for both my cards as sometimes they get neglected.  Not because I don't like them, it's just they are on a shelf that I sometimes forget to go look at.  Do you have a shelf like that?

For my first card I used Fun Flowers and sponged the bottom two layers with Melon Mambo and the top layers with Pretty in Pink then added a white flower button to the center.  The leaves are Wisteria Wonder and I used the Little Leaves Sizzlits Die to cut them out. 

The flower and leaves were arranged onto a Whisper White card base.  

As I've used the colours from the SIMPLY STAMPIN challenge blog, I'm entering this card there too. 

Thanks very much ladies for my top three for last weeks card. 

Then because I'd had a play with one flower die, I decided to make another card with the Flower, Daisies Die. 

For this one I cut my flower out twice in Whisper White and layered it up adding an Antique Brad to the center. 

I used River Rock in the textured card stock as I wanted to echo the colour of the brad and first stamped Congratulations from Curly Cute in Versamark then embossed in gold.  I attached my flower using mini Glue dots and mounted this onto Basic Black.  The card base is also textured card stock in Whisper White. 

My mother asked me to make a Golden Wedding Anniversay card and I'm hoping this will fit the bill.  

I'm also going to enter this card into Less is More. 

The more I see the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets and papers, the more I love them.  I was delivering some goodies to my hostess today and everyone had picked such lovely sets.  If you are interested in received a free set then here's one way to earn them -
