Flourishes (and Recycling)

Good Afternoon all.
A gorgeous day here.  We have just got back from a lovely walk down by the river and through the citrus groves.

I think I have mentioned before that I hate to throw anything away and this card I made using the negative from a flourish die cut.  I made it the main focal point and decorated round it with beads and wire from my jewellery stash.  Punched flowers- the green ones are a Martha Stewart punch.  Parchment butterflies (any bits of parchment I have left I use either my flower punches or butterfly punches ).  Peeloff sentiment and gems added.

I am entering this into-

Cropstop challenge # 64 - flourishes

    Best bit of advice I received was to never throw out the negative of your dies or punches.... could always be used! Thanks for proving so beautifully! Thanks for joining in the fun at www.CropStop.com (Kristin)

    Oh, what a clever idea to use the left-over piece after cutting out the flourish! Definitely got to try that! Thank you for joining in our CropStop challenge! Hugs, Rosie
