More Die Cutting?

Hello and welcome, I hope you've had a great weekend. Today I have made a card for LIM 55 which is all about
                               Punches or Die Cuts




I've been stamping and spraying and cutting all afternoon, loads of fun! I really enjoy the LIM challenges, all clean and simple, just fun:0) The shimmer just doesn't show, the light was very difficult today, bright sunshine (whooppee!!) made for too much contrast and my poor camera couldn't cope :{

 Right, Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm now off to have something to eat and when I come back I hope that I will have better service from my Interenet provider because it's been pants all day long and has taken me forever to do this post this evening, I am very hungry now! Hopfully  I'll be at your blog soon and checking out your wonderful creations :0) Here's wishing you a brilliant week, Gay x

I used:
Mini Tattered Flowers, Movers and Shapers, Tim Holtz
Sentiment from PTI
Hero Arts Stencil Flower
Cosmic Shimmer Mist Pearl Mist  and  the smallest amount of Golden Mint!
I bought mine at the Craft Barn

Update, Monday Evening;
I have tried the whole day to connect to the internet and have had no luck till tonight, I'm sorry  I will try and visit soon, Thanks for all your lovely comments.  

We are going to change our internet provider and face 1 or two weeks without internet service and perhaps loosing our telephone number. At home here we are  so fed up with the service we are getting a sacrifice may be called for! What the big companies don't explain when you leave BT is that to get a BT line (which we need for another provider)  an engineer has to come to your house and physically reconnect you. That can be expensive and of course you have to join a queue! Oh I'm so sorry for the rant but I needed to get that off my chest.
Now I'm off to catch up and I really hope my connection stays live TTFN Gay x

Really like that Hero Arts stencil flower and the way your Tattered Flower has come out with the Cosmic Shimmer Mist. I've only got the pink mists and still can't get the hang of them but that Pearl one looks fab!
