Hi all
I have finally used my new spellbinders dies on a card ,i bought 3 new sets and have had no time to play .I will have to get some wax paper to run thru with them as i cut them out ...it will save me losing my temper...lol
I kept this card pretty simple  as the pretty dies do most of the work .I also used  a TH vintage market lwetter dies,cheery lynn leaves border die,SU edge punch bazzill basics lilac card and flowers from mulberry crafts which are white ...but for some reason always come out cream on the pic...
The pearls are from meiflower crafts
