Flowers, flowers everywhere!



Evening all!

I was given a DT challenge to create something with flowers...so after a while I decided to try and create something on my cricut and SCAL to put up for it.

This is what I came up with - I am loving the colours and I really do like the design. I have done it with other shapes since I made this one, but the flower one is definately my favourite.



Would love to know what you think.
