A little adapting






I was looking through my Bloglovin email this morning when I spotted this card from Lisa (I'm in Haven) 
I just loved what she had done with her die. My immediate thought was, I NEED that die, but then a thought struck me that I might be able to use a die I already had and had hardly used instead.
It's  this Memory Box buckle die.
So I die-cut four of them, then cut out the smaller petally bits and placed them slightly offset on top of each other. The centre is the smallest Die-namics pierced circle.
Thanks Lisa I may get more miles out of this die now!
The embossing folder is Adagio from Couture Creations and the sentiment is computer generated in KG Defying Gravity font.

Now I have given this card to her I can tell you that it's for my friend Anne's (Stargroves) birthday, which is TODAY and it's special one too!
