To Have & To Hold

 Blue Ribbon #3

It was the lacy background die cut that set the tone for this one . . .

I wanted to make it stand out, so I mounted it on acetate and used about a bazillion teensy foam dots to raise it off the card front.  The acetate gave me something firm to attach the foam dots too and it will also prevent the rather delicate die cut from buckling. 

Tim's Tiny Tattered flowers go well with the casual Kraft card base.  I've learned that the best way to seal a spiraled flower is with a glue dot.  Those things really hold tight!  I used to use liquid glue for that job but then I had to sit there for too many minutes while waiting for the glue to set.
