Layered Scalloped Posy

Good morning all!  This is one of my favourite cards from the past shows!  I adore these dies and I love this paper so it all worked for me.  I found a few more pieces of this paper in my stash (did the happy dance!) so you will see it a couple more times in the future I am sure. (In case you want to know, it is by S.E.I. and it is called Jolie Chocolat).  It has the prettiest shimmer to it, but it just doesn't show up in the photos unfortunately.  I used the Layered Scallop Posy die from Heartfelt Creations to cut the top and bottom sections of the card.  This die cuts the half circle part but the bottom edge stays attached to your card.  I left about an inch between the two cuts where I placed my sentiment on a (yes another) forked flag then matted it in gold and grey card.  At the edge of the flag, I added a flower made from the background paper using the Spiral Flower 3.  I cut several of the gorgeous swirl that is sold in the Decorative Dutch Iris set, so that they were radiating outward from my flower.  I added a few bits from the Bella Rose set and a piece of gold tulle from my craft stash to create a floral element on my card.  I added a couple of partial mats in gold card then pierced the edges to complete my card.  I will have a sneak peek for you tomorrow so please check back in the morning.  All for now, Sue x
