Welcome
This card is a new card, but created on the base of an old one that I had smudged and generally messed up on!
The base had been washed with watercolours in an ombre effect.

I die cut the flowers out of the green layer, and stamped and embossed the sentiment.

I then ran the green card through an embossing folder with the branch on to give a wee bit more interest to the card, and also added the pearls.

The butterfly was one of the final details and really made the card 'come to life.'
A final peep at the card!

what a fabulous way to recycle a card you are not happy with Maxine! I love the new details. A friend of mine says there is no such thing as a mistake - they are opportunities for embellishment! {{{hugs}}}
Fabulous Maxine. A great look with the textured base.
I love it when I can rework an old card and nothing (especially my time) gets wasted! Great card! Thanks for joining the Hoedown Challenge this month!

This is really beautiful, Maxine. Great color combination, and I love the pressure embossing and the cut-out flowers. Thank you for sharing with us, and may God bless your week with His goodness and love. You are such a blessing to me.

Stellar job Maxine. You are like me in that department. Messed up? Where? That's not a mess up that was supposed to be there. I'm still working on it. LOL.
