I'ts all about dies for today's challenge!
this is my all time favorite sizzix die... so sad that it has been retired for many years now!
I start with white paper then sponged the many shades of yellows, rust and orange.
this is a very fast and easy Birthday card, no stamping required with the embossed birthday background.
the flower center is made by dotting white acrylic paint onto black glossy cardstock with the end of a stylist. this gives you the look of those fantastic large dotted brads without the expense plus-they are flat for easy mailing. Make the whole sheet, then just punch the size you want when needed! easy peasy!
thanks for stopping by~ hope your having a great day!

Judy, Judy, Judy!!! I'll just add yet another WOW, WOW, WOW))) I too (as you know) am a great fan of ALL of your work. You just do the most amazing things with paper. This flower is my fave because of you too, but I do not own the die; however, I did find a similar type one to try and duplicate your fantastic and inspirational work. Your sponging gives the most amazing color and depth and I totally LOVE the generously shared tip on how to create a whole sheet of adorable dottiness all ready for punching out at a moments notice. Hugs~
