Hi peeps!! Howareya? I hope all is well wherever you are and hope you're having a lovely week! I went into my Typepad account tonight to type this post and I saw, to my amazement, that I hit a milestone with Monday's post and I didn't even realize it! Monday's post was my 500th blog post! Wowza! 500? Seriously? I think that's pretty cool! I wasn't even paying attention. So....welcome to blog post #501! LOL. Not quite the same is it? Anyhoo, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit me and thanks for being part of my fun, crafty, bloggy journey! {{hugs}}
Today's post is my entry for the Moxie Fab World Minty Fresh Challenge! The challenge doesn't expire until 9-3, so get your entries in too. The challenge was to use mint green in a fabulous way. I decided to get out the felt again and whip up a nice big flower.
This is the notched flower die from PTI and that lovely "happy" word is from Simon Says Stamp. The entire die says Oh Happy Day....but that all didn't fit! So, it's just happy. I love pink and green together and here I've used a pretty light pink and a darker raspberry pink to pop that patterned paper.
One trick when layering flower die pieces is to use some foam tape between at least one of the layers. This way it won't be completely flat.
Hey Wanda! Thanks for linking this up to the Minty Fresh Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)

This is just so pretty, Wanda! I can't believe that I just emailed you and used the words "happy" and "blessed" and your last two creations have those special words highlighted! These colors are beautiful together! Love the felt blossom! :D
