Bouquets of flowers

Here is a simple, yet cute card I made last night.
I love the way it turned out.
Blackberry Bliss is one of my favorite colors & I don't use it often enough.
 
Check out these pretty bouquet of flowers!
I punched them directly out of the DSP.
#163421- To Market DSP= $12.50 pg. 39
The bouquet of flowers were on the very edge of the DSP- 
so I used the 
#162234- Modern Oval Punch= $23.00
and then I trimmed the other edge to be straight too.
As I sure didn't want to waste these flowers even though
they were on the edge.
The words are from the
