I'm using a regular die to create a custom foiled background for a simple die-cut sentiment to sit on. So let's get started.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I'm longing for beautiful colour flowers to spring up outside, but whilst I'm waiting I decided to create this vivid blue floral card using the Mama Elephant 'Pretty Lovely' stamp set.
