Remember the crocus? With this single crocus, I thought it would be nice to show a fenced little garden. Using all the same “ingredients” as Stamps #57 & #58 you get an entirely different look. A couple of different punches, a top folding card and a bold greeting change this up a lot. The Hello die actually cuts in all separate letters but I wanted it to be together and I very carefully lined it up on my cardstock and VERY carefully ran it partially through the Big Shot and then I performed surgery with an Exacto blade to trim the parts I didn’t want. It was a bigger job than I thought it was going to be but I love the look and would do it again; just knowing that it’s going to take a bit of time as all surgeries do!
