Appreciation Card: You are Mermazing!

I’m making an appreciation card today using supplies from the April 2021 monthly card kit from Spellbinders called “Sincerely Yours”. I am a new affiliate with Spellbinders, but I purchase the kits myself with my own money because I think they are a great value!

The card kit I used today came with some dies. I used the flower die to cut out them out in gold cardstock, which also came in the kit. I used a Spellbinders Platinum Machine to cut them:
