Confession time first, I had seen a card that had used border dies to make a fancy background and the  flowers meet down the length of the card was a sketch I recently seen. The two ideas have been stuck in my head for some time, since Mr Mojo left the building as soon as Hubby and I got ill with flu it helped me out, bringing my challenge card for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

The moment I saw the Altenew Creative Edges Lace Border die I knew I had to use it, of course everyone loves it too and it's now sold out but to be honest the idea can be used with all sorts of Border dies. In fact while looking for some I now have a shopping basket full of border dies!

You probably guessed I love the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Daisies dies, on this card I've used just the small one. Now instead of using the Simon says Stamp Circle of Leaves die cutting out the leaves I discovered Simon Says Stamp Forget me Not Flowers dies and it has the gorgeous delicate leaves, how did I miss them originally but hey ho I've got them now.

Finally I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Banners and Simon Says Stamp Ranunculus stamp set to make the sentiment. I love this technique I'm sure I will be using it again.
