Welcome - I am so glad you have called in.
I had some time in the studio yesterday, and was happily puddling away when I realised I needed a card to post today!! The result is this card, made in about 30 minutes.

I had previously coloured this image, so that was my starting point. It was slightly too large to cut using an oval die, so I lightly drew around the outside of the die and hand cut the oval, then sponged the edges.
Initially I thought about using a floral paper, as the recipient loves gardening, but when I came across this spotted paper I was more than happy to use it.
I then decided to change direction, and cut an oval out of the front of the card after layering the dp on it, and mounted the butterfly on the inside.
The dp was sponged on all edges, including the internal edge of the oval.
To finish the card I added a bow, stamped the sentiment and livened it all up with some clear rhinestones.
I am linking this to:
Thank you for visiting - may your day be blessed.
