Simply Leaves with a floral twist

 Today I have a card using the Simply Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! but with a floral twist to the design.  I hope you like it.  I was inspired by a card I saw using the leaves to make a sunflower.  It inspired to me to make this floral design.  I added a fun fold and used the Everyday Arches dies and I was very pleased with the results.  This card would make a beautiful birthday card or work for several other occasions as well just by changing the sentiment.  Of course, you can personalize the card with the recipient's favorite color as well.  There are so many ways to use it don't you think?  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.
