I may have been quieter than normal with my crafti I may have been quieter than normal with my crafting but I recently designed a series of cards for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine using the Fern & Flora Bundle by Stampin' Up!

I adore the botanical feel of these dies and what you can create with them. This wreath card screams whispy fresh air combined with richness, I just loved creating it. Would you welcome a botanical card like this for your birthday?
