It's been awhile since I participated in a Papertrey Ink MIM. Since I had some time, I decided to try and make a flower using a leaf die. I chose the leaves from the Sunflower stamp set. Why anyone would do this is beyond me since there are so many pretty flower dies out there that take 1 pass through a cutting machine vs 7-8.
However since I started the process I wanted to finish. It took several hrs to make this card. Not too happy with it either. In fact in my eyes it is unfinished.

This is a sweet card. I especially like how you used the ribbon and the button. I know what you mean about using the leaves as flowers. Great idea in concept, but I LOVE my PTI flower dies, and they are really so easy to use. I just ordered for April, and can now relax for the rest of the evening.
I think your flower turned out beautiful, also love the color! I agree it is much easier to use the flower dies.
Beautiful Carol, what a great idea to use the leaf from the sunflower. Your card has such great colours., love the ribbon--so sweet. My suggestion is to hold on to the card and when an occasion pops up you can personalize accordingly.
Isn't MIM just so fun?? I love seeing these new techniques and *semi-forced* to make a card! It really pushes me out of my comfort zone!
Hi, Carol! i love the colors that you used on your card. Yes, i also feel like this when i make cards, that they are unfinished. I leave them as is and go back to them after having a "breather" :)
