Thanks with Birch Press Designs

Hello! It's Sue here. Our challenge for the month of September is

ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor for this month is Birch Press Designs. They will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Only those with a US address are eligible to win. 

Here's the card I created for our ANYTHING GOES challenge.

For my card, I used scraps of yellow/orange cardstock to die cut the pieces of the blooms using Birch Press Designs' Block Print Fabulous Flourishes dies. I adhered the pieces with glue. For the sentiment, I used Birch Press Design's Big Thanks Sugar Script. I glued the elements onto a cream A2 card base. The card felt like something was missing. So, I doodled a frame with a thin, brown marker. For a more specific description of how I created this card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

Thanks for stopping by.
