This is the third card I made today for a challenge to use no adhesives.
I stamped a sqaure base with En Francais in green, as I couldn't think how to add DP without even more eyelets than I already knew I needed.
I made the Blintz base with a sheet of BG Mellow, after sponging the back with two shades of blue and stamping it with En Francais in green. After marking all the scores I attached it to the base using an eyelet in each corner. I folded the flaps in and added brads. I punched out some daisies and added them with more eyelets. The centre is large flower punches snipped in towards the centre so that they would curl up more, and edged with Stickles. This was the only time I really missed not being allowed glue or tape as I'd been going to use a Build-a-Brad for the centre, and had to change. Various birthday sentiments were stamped onto green card, punched out and attached throught the eyelet in the top right corner with a Junkitz ball chain.

Girl, I have to tell you....I remember when you suggested the blintz a few months ago, and I struggled so to try to figure it out, and finally thought .... who the heck is this Cook22 person and how the heck did she ever come up with such a ridiculous design! Since then, I assure you, my thoughts have changed drastically about who this Cook22 is, but i also have to admit I still have no idea how you did this, but I sure like it!
