Welcome, and thanks again for calling by.
I was wanting to make a fresh 'spring like' card for an upcoming birthday, and this is the result.

I started with the background - which is one of a series of photographs that my DS and DIL took for me to use as backgrounds some years ago. It is simply a macro shot of an heavily textured leaf.
The tag is from Our Daily Bread Designs. It was stamped and fussy cut, the flowers were coloured with ink from stamp pads. I wanted a more grungy look and tried several ribbons on the tag, but ended up with just the two in a very simple, sparkly duo.
The tag was layered onto the photo, the yellow card and then onto a pre-cut card base with a deckle edge, and the edges were all sponged with co-ordinating inks.
The butterflies were punched, adhered and then blinged with pearls, some of which were added to the corners of the yellow layer.
