A dear crafty friend of mine for Christmas sent me a bunch of die cuts for Christmas - it was such a thoughtful gift. She knew I didn't have very many Cheery Lynn Designs dies and that I really like them. I used these dies cuts she sent me from CLD Daisy Strip and attached them with a vintage bronze tiny brad, then strung a little piece of Beadsmith 24 gauge vintage bronze wire for the flower stem. I added 2 strips of floral washi tape in pink and green to the bottom of the wire to secure it to the card, then added the sentiment over it up on pop dots. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called "Let Love Grow" that I just love! I have been wanting "postage stamp" type dies but haven't wanted to spend the $ on them yet, so I figured how to make it look like that by using my dots die from Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes dies and then cutting down the middle of the cut out dots so it looks like a postage stamp! Much cheaper way to get the same effect and now that I figured it out, I can do it on any size square or rectangle or straight line I need it on! Lastly added Wink of Stella on daisy and May Arts dotted ribbon on the side.
If you scroll down you can see the Wink of Stella on the flower and a close up of the wire.
I'm entering this in the following challenges:

Genius! Using that die and cutting down the middle to make the postage stamp look - well done! Your flower is absolutely delightful with its little wire stem.
