Spring Flowers

  Bright colors welcome Spring.  A BigShot and Sizzix dies were used  to cut out vase, flowers and leaves from card stock. An embossing folder was used to flourish the vase. The vase is 3 dimensional..
After die cutting the vase, branches and flowers arrange and glue to a suitable sized paper backing. Punch holes at top on each side and add ribbon for hanging.
