Afghan Card

As promised, here is a fun card that I did using the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch from the new Summer Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up.  I also thought it was a great fit with this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:

The new punches create several different options.  I used Image 2 from the punch.  I saved the centers for other projects and just used the outline.  I played around until I found a pattern that I liked and then the gluing began.  There was a little hang over on the sides so I just trimmed them off.  The sentiment is from the "Thank You Kindly" set.  The cardstock is just some random scraps I had laying around. 

How fun is this?!  It looks even better from a little ways away.
