Gear Flower

Hi crafters!  Welcome to the final day of the mini Festive launch.  There are only two posts today, but they are both really nice!  I am starting with the Gear Flower.  Although this has been designed to look like a flower, it is much more than that.  You can use this as a shape for a focal element or to seat a sentiment upon or just a design.  It isn't even specifically Christmas orientated, depending on how you use the set, it can be so versatile.  The set has five dies in it an they can be used individually or layered up.  Leave your comment before you go but join us back here for the final post at noontime today.  Hope to see you then!  All for now, Sue x

    This is fabulous! Love this die, and you have used the Joy die with it. This flower would go so well on a steampunk card in darker colours.

    Hi Sue. Another die set that's not all that grungy compared to some in this launch and I love your sample, it's one that I would use happily. Wonder if Crew Trish is on the same page lol our uncertainty regarding steampunk/grunge seem to be the same.
    Enjoy your Sunday xxx

    This flower is like the floral spray grew up and got all fancy for a night of dancing in a full gown. I don't need a die like this, but there's always room for d to win it would be so exciting. I can see building up the new flower with more gears for a more 3D look. My heart is all aflutter for the chance to win. Many thanks to you and Creative Expressions.

    Hi Sue,

    What a pretty floral die, as Yvonne May has said it looks like applique lace - one you could happily use all year round, either as a focal point or supporting element on a card and with 5 dies in the set a lot of fun to be had making up the flowers...

    Good Morning Sue. This die is a lovely example of your never ending talents. It can be used all year round for female cards. And if you are making men's cards and need extra cogs and things for a background you get loads to snip off in one pass. Well done again Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone who comments today. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
