  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one I have made from scratch including the card itself... I first of all used the 15x10.5cm Creative Expressions Noble stitched die from one of Sue Wilson's collection and cut out two pieces of white card.  I hadn't at that point decided to use these as the card itself so I stamped the Dancing Daisies (from Honey Doo Crafts) directly on to one of the panels using Gina K's Obsidian Black ink and then as I had decided by then that I would be using them as a card, I had to choose how to colour them.

I then added the flower to the centre of the card and added 3 jewel style gems (from H...
