and I really hope the post man has delivered this card by now and it's safe to add the card to my blog! I can't hold the card back any longer as I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday to create the card. If you haven't been to their challenge blog do check it out as they do the most gorgeous sketches each week.
To create the centre piece I've used a sentiment by Pink Cat Studio and combined it with one of the fab flowers from my treasured Kanban tree sets. The DP and plain green card is also by Kanban and matches the stamp. As you can see now I know that you're supposed to thread ribbon through this Marianne flower die there's no stopping me! I love these dies and I think my birthday wish list is going to be made up of quite a few of them. A non blogging friend showed me a card she had made using the poinsetta and it was just fabulous so that is definitely on my wish list.
If you have these dies and have had problems getting the cut piece out of the die check out Top Tip Tuesday on Bah! Humbug! I had a flash of inspiration and found this works a treat.
Hope my friend loves her card. She is a very special person - always there to give advice and just generally a star. Not mentioning any names, but you know who you are.
My card is also for the following challenge...
- Pollycraft Monday Challenge - summer blooms
Have a fabulous day everyone. Sun's shining here, but how long will it last - who knows.

Max is right Ann - I was blown away by this utterly STUNNING creation and by your lovely words inside it. I'd just sent you a message to thank you for it when I spotted your post (although you have me blushing with it!)
