Yes, I'm Die Crazy ... and a little Punch Crazy too!

Did the Team at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog say
DIE CRAZY?
... well I have to confess that I went Die Crazy and Punch Crazy too!!!

Here is the first card to surface from the mass of sentiments, flowers and leaves.  It stands 5 x 7" tall.  The inside of the card has two matted layers to add some weight and strength to balance against the weight of the embellishments on the front.

Here is a close-up showing the texture of the burlap & cardstock and the dimension of the flowers.  The large flowers have a foam dot between the two layers, the tallest large flower has a huge 1/4" thick foam dot underneath, the others have 1/8".  Three of the small flowers are adhered directly to the card, with the 3rd on popped with a tiny 1/16" foam dot, so there is lots of varied dimension.

I am thrilled to have finished three of these cards today.  I usually make unique cards but I enjoyed this CAS design so much that I made three and with three birthdays in nine days, they will be used pretty fast this week.  ... I'm so glad that SSS made me go die and punch crazy!!!

The challenge was to use at least one die cut or punched shape
I used 3 die cut sentiments and bundles of punched flowers & leaves
