Hi everybody.  I hope that you are all enjoying the same beautiful sunny weather that we have been having for the last number of days.  My card today is made from a Tonic Die which although it is quite a nice die I do not think there is very much you can do with it.  Normally I like a die which I can use in different ways but this die I find to be quite limited.
                           
                                         

Thank you for taking a look.

    Morning Marie - a really luvly card anything with flowers and butterflies is a winner for me and luvin the bow xx I understand what you mean about the die but I am sure you will come up with different variations of embellishments/toppers which will make it look different - the weather here this morning at 7am was glorious (I was hanging washing out) now @ 10am it is very overcast and a little cool but at least it isn't raining xx GailT xx

    That's odd that a die wouldn't lend itself to more of your creativity. In time maybe you'll find more uses for it. I think it's a very sturdy and fabulous design and the embellishments make a beautiful Summery card.
    Hope you're doing well and thank you so much for sharing this Marie- Louise.
    hugs to you,
    Lisa xx
