I have used the stunning Chrysanthemum set...teamed up with some Glitz papers..a lovely MB die..punched flower and butterflies and some string and sentiment too..

I love your tag... I'm loving all the Kraft/browns you've been using lately, brown is one of my favourite colours (I know, a bit odd!) I just thought I'd let you know I've "borrowed" your idea of a compilation for detail pics, I think it's a great idea, I did credit you :-) Donna ☺
