Let's get the party started.....I printed the sentiment onto cream card and cropped using the circle die before matting onto a dark blue scallop circle, I die-cit the gift from pink and gold before trimming to size and assembling, the three stars provide strong visual balance.

After die-cutting the two feathers I scrunched the rectangle before mounting onto the base card and adding the stamped sentiment. I gently curled the two die-cut feathers before mounting in place and added the button threaded with natural twine finished in a bow.

After attaching the 'Mr & Mrs' die-cut I curled back some of the leaves to add a little dimension. Next I assembled my three flowers using my tweezers before mounting in place.

After mounting the two blue rectangles together I trimmed the base into a chevron before punching two holes near the top and adding a couple of gold eyelets which I then threaded with twine tied into a reef knot. I attached the green and pink strips to the base card before mounting the banner. After threading more twine through the top of the die-cut anchor I attached it to the banner. I designed and printed the text on my PC before trimming to size and mounting in place.

Now this is part three of four and you might think that I am getting tired of using the mini dies...... can't wait to get started on the next batch!

Thanks for stopping by, see you all soon.
