This card meets two challenges: the Creative Crew has challenged us to use the colors Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz together and today's Ways to Use it was to use die cuts. I have been wanting to try the faux pressed flowers technique with a patterned bg piece and since I have new toys to play with I used dp from Beyond the Garden. I cut 4 sets from 2dies, Flower Fusion and Little Leaves. I punched circle centers and glued all these on the dp piece then ran it through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice ef. I die cut a tag then stamped my greeting on the same dp and punched and layered it on the tag. I popped this over a piece of Pumpkin Pie ribbon (some day I'll have enough $$ to buy In Color ribbons!) and called it done!!!

WOW, Gail......love how you die-cut all the flowers and foliage and then ran it through with your EF. FAB look. Those colors are very pretty together too.
