Pretty in Pink

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I saw a card similar to this design created by my friend Crystal. The layout was just gorgeous, and I simply needed to get the stitched dies that she used. I like the stitched detail, and believe it adds more to the card then just a rounded edge. 

This flower was one of my first cuts using my ScanNCut. I have seen many people say “you will never buy metal dies again”. After seeing how quickly and perfectly it cut, I may agree.  Use this and free up more money for stamps… SOLD! The idea to use a repurposed library book came from a paper piecing tutorial I saw, but I like this outcome much better. While my coloring skills need some work, I think the recipient won't notice and will enjoy the card when received.
