Petite adornments and daisy circle
Posted by Marie Smith on
The Creative Expressions Sue Wilson dies work beautifully, even on heavy card stock such as the 300gsm I used here. I cut 4 of the Petite Arched Adornment and the inner part (with the circle) from the Circle Daisy Set. The Petite Arched Adornment can be used in so many ways:

The sentiment is from Mama Elephant, and the white flowers from Memory Box small blooming poinsettia.
