Beautiful Petals – Two Ways

Hi Creative Friends,

I have been having the best time creating with the beautiful Four Petal Thank You Floral die set by Spellbinders. There are so many ways you can use this set! I chose to make a floral display that was bursting with colors and flowers. I was having so much fun with this set that I created the same flowers on two different background colors. I rarely create two cards the same, but I couldn’t help myself! You will have to let me know which version you like the best by commenting on our blog or Instagram. For those of you that do play along, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to our shop – woohoo! Be sure to let us know how to contact you if you are the lucky winner!
