Not just for Christmas!

Today's card shows that "Christmas" designs don't have to be just for Christmas. I wonder how long it will take the Spellbinders fans to recognise which die set I have used for this cheery Birthday card?

This next picture gives you a better clue . . .

Have you got it yet? It's actually using five snowmen from the Frosty Forms die set, to make up the petals of a flower. I inked through the die to highlight the pretty decorative pattern. All of the little curly elements have also come from dies in this set, including using some of the waste parts which look like hearts.

 The other shapes were die cut from the Spellbinders Exquisite Circles die set. 

 The sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions stamp set called "Kind Thoughts".

 If there is anything else you would like to know just leave me a comment and I will reply as soon as I can.

    oh my word, you are so clever, I would never have guessed - mind you, I don't have that die! but I still would't have thought of using it in the way that you have. It's a fabulous, love the colours

    What a clever card, Tracey - love how you used all the die-cuts (including the waste) to make your card.

    Thanx for your kind comments on my blog, hun - they are much appreciated.
