**** FabnFunky ****

 Hello folks,

Time for a new challenge at

 Fab'n'Funky Challenge #605

 hosted by our lovely N-Eva who has chosen the theme "Dies and or Punches"

I've used several Memory Box dies for this card.  I do love pink, white and silver together. I coloured the stems and leaf with Copics.  The flowers are first embossed on white cardstock then the single blooms are cut out, run thru the embossing machine and then added to the existing flowers.  Love the dimension this gives.  Silver beads add to the center of the flowers.
