Thanks to Rich's speedy delivery of my fantasic new die,:happy:
Ooo, wonder which you've got! I've yet to take the plunge and get a flourish die because I'm unsure how to stick the thinner ones down (i.e the too thin for double sided tape etc), I'm not a fan of wet glue - if you don't mind me asking - how do you stick down attatch yours?

I went for the Tim Holtz Alterations Elegant flourishes die I also have the spellbinders Floral accents these are not really florishes but give a nice finish.
I used the Pritt Power gell in the past as you only need a tiny amount and it had a double use aplicator, wide or small, I used just the smallest amount with a pokey tool, to make it last as I can't find it in the shop any more,shame as it sticks anything even glitter card, managed to get a large tube for £6.99 off ebay,when other sellers wanted £20 for the small one that was £3.99 in the shops.I now uses the zig 2 way roller ball glue, you need the smallest amount and it does not soak into the card , you can let it go tacky or use it wet and it dries quickly.
Here is a card I made within 20 mins of receiving my new die LOL

Lovely large flourish, makes my little teeny one made with a punch look pathetic. Yes that Zig glue is excellent. I use it with paper lace so you don't get a sticky bit that gathers dust!
Your card is lovely.
Like the change of heart with Promarkers, I can see that some sort of die cutting machine will be coming to live at my house eventually!
