Today's offering

I had no idea I was going to make this when I started out this afternoon.  I had planned to do some stitching so there you go. The Tim Holtz rosette die does double up as a fence too.  I think you could probably cut between each fold to separate the fence posts for a variation but I liked this. The background paper is a piece I had from an old Stampington mag but the leaves and flowers are from my own background stash.  I do love it when the weather gets better and I can photograph my creations in the garden.

Not only do I love what you've done but I love the fact that you photographed it outside. If only I had a suitable tree in my garden!

Gorgeous Carol, love the rosettes, but the way you have used it for the fence is genius, love this summer inspired project!

Fabulous card Carol. Love how you've used the rosette flower as a fence, you can also snip part the way down each fold and then fold back alternate sections to create a different design. I love this die.
