Use Die Cuts in Di's Digis' new challenge (Di's Digis image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, did I get knocked out by a cold and cough this past week! It was a long weekend here in Oz so I am feeling quite sorry for myself that I wasn't able to enjoy it, I just didn't stop coughing for days! I'm just about "mended" hehe so I'm going to post this card that I should have posted on Saturday (sorry Di).

Di's Digis has a new challenge this fortnight and it's Use Die Cuts. I used a banner, sentiments and hearts dies.
