I 've seen many samples made with the Botanical Builder Framelit Dies but this one, by Kathie Rotti (Kathie Love Stamping), caught my eye this week so I just had to create my own samples!! I've consolidated the following instructions for you to follow to make your own - please contact me if you have any questions.
