Jenfa Cards: MME Stella & Rose

I made this card yesterday with just the label in the middle, but didn't really like it so added a flower made with my new Stampin' Up Festive Flower Builder punch. I know I probably have dies that can do something similar, but had to have a play after getting the punch last night : )

Paper - My Minds Eye Stella & Rose

Dies - Spellbinders Fair Isle Pendants and Blooms One

Tools - Sizzix Big Shot, Stampin' Up Festive Flower and Decorative Label Punches
