Flourish Thinlits - not just for Scrapbooking!

I bought these dies years ago and they are only just now going into retirement - I use them a lot in the back ground for my scrapbooking but I thought I would give them a run in on a box and a card.

I decorated this mini pizza box with some designer series paper - this paper is currently on reduced price in Last Chance Products. It is the back of the Silhouette papers. I layered the largest flower onto some of the background paper and cut around it before putting it down on top of the other die cut arranged pieces - this prevents all of the criss-crossing pieces showing through the flower.

For the card, I used this flower swirl on top of another piece of the designer series paper but this time I gold embossed the edges and some splashes onto the paper first. I added another flower die cut image on top of one of the circle buds and tiny gold pearl on top of all of the other circle buds. I also heat embossed the 'happy birthday' which came for the Bonanza Buddies stamp set.

This is another example of me buying a die without the matching stamp set - although both are available until 2nd June - while stocks last. Ditto the designer Series paper (reduced)
