Happy Birthday Flora & Flutter

My inspiration came from Pinterest

Why on earth does my brain take the longest path to create a card.  I created a card last night and it took over one hour and plenty of trashed cardstock.  This morning I knew there had to be an easier way. Ummmm…..Rectangle Stitched Dies!!
