I chose a pre-folded card for this one and after using Tea Dye Distress Ink to colour my stencil, I cut out some Spellbinders Aster flower toppers and inked them sparingly with the same ink. The corner die is beautifu,l and its really big ,but with great results, it's another Spellbinders Gold Elements One
After creating my flower and adding it on to the corner, I remembered to add my quote and dyed silk ribbon bow. However, I managed it with a jiggle around and got it to fit. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend.
Carolyn, Neil, Hamish and Molly are arriving and staying till Sunday, so no crafting for me this weekend. Hugs Rita xxxx

Simply beautiful with your lovely stenciling and the wonderful corner die. That is one of my favorites too, and how well it embellished your stenciling. How generous of Anne to gift you with it..She's a peach for sure. Loved your flowers and I hope you have an amazing weekend with your children. SC is getting our winter blast of cold...a bit early for us. But at least it's not so bad as in some parts of the USA. TFS & hugs.
So very beautiful!
