Make My Monday Challenge

The challenge this week on Make My Monday is to make something using dies and/or punches and for this card I've incorporated both.  I'm still aiming to use up some of my scraps and also trying to resist buying any new 'stash' and use what I already have although I'm not sure how long this particular aim will last!  Background paper is from my precious hoard of beautiful designs received as part of the ex Graphicus Guild membership (now known as Chocolate Baroque).  The various punched and die cut elements were made using scraps and I even couldn't resist using some of the tiny flowers which were 'waste' from the punched border (Tonic punch). The cameo is a very old Quick Kutz die, popped onto a punched oval (SU) and an embossed oval (Sizzix for SU).  The swirl and butterflies are Marianne dies.  The greeting was produced on the computer and put onto three punched shapes (SU).  Do take a look at the inspiration from the Design Team by following the link above.
