Welcome
I made this card for a dear family member who loves her garden, but is unable to be out in it much now. She also loves lemon and green colours...
Unfortunately the camera has played tricks on me and the lemon cardstock looks more kraft in these photos - so cross, as the card is really pretty IRL!
I'm not sure where the paper came from now, (I think it was from a Craft Wise pack) but I loved the flowers on it. The butterflies are cut from the M/B Pippi die
The sentiment is from Montarga (a N.Z. company), and is embossed using deep green ep.
The patterned panel, and the sentiment banner were mounted over some card that had been covered in metallic book covering plastic film. The banner shape was hand cut.
I decorated the inside of the card with a strip of the patterned paper. This photo shows the true colour of the lemon cardstock I used as the base and the sentiment banner.

That is so pretty Maxine.
It is quite annoying when the colours don't photograph well
Beautiful! Love the shine of the butterflies too. They're going to love your card!

This is a beautiful card Maxine. I love the background paper and the color compo you selected for this card. Your dear family member will love it I'm sure! The camera can mess with colors can't it?! But I can tell it is yellow and not kraft, loving those gold butterflies as well. They goes so well with the background paper. I feel your family members pain of not being able to be out in the garden as much. I always loved puttering in the garden, but don't do it much at all anymore because of mobility issues and heat/sun. Hugs, Brenda

Maxine: your card is so lovely and full of sparkles! Those gold butterflies are perfect and perfectly placed! FAB card!!
A lovely card for your friend with garden notes Maxine. Know what you mean about cameras and colour, my in theory white flowers on today's post look decidedly cream.

Lovely Maxine the butterflies are just adorable. Beautifully presented work of art.xx
Hi there Maxine, I so understand the frustration in photography, I think lemon/ yellow and pink are hard colours to be accurate in.
It’s a lovely Card, I so agree re pretty DP and the butterflies just make it, love the happy birthday stamp too, you’ve used it before and Ive admired the script!
Thanks for Sharing, God bless, hugs Shaz in Oz.x

What's not to like about butterflies. These are so pretty with their sparkle. The paper is perfect and I'm sure it is even prettier in real life with the yellow base card. Kate x
What a beautiful paper! And the butterflies look so good on it! A tropical card! Enjoy the weekend!
A beautiful cad Maxine, lovely butterflies.

A Beautiful butterfly card Maxine. It is sometimes very hard to get the photos to look correct all the time.
The fires are a couple of hours north of us Maxine, so hope the wind settles down, God gives rain and strength for the fire fighters..xx

Aww.. it's so beautiful Maxine. How sweet of you to make it for your friend who loves these colors and her garden. Love the shimmery butterflies. I find so difficult to use pattern papers, but I love when others use it.
Your birthday card looks wonderful in the photos too. I'm sure your recipient loved it. Thanks for sharing this with us for the Scrapy Land Challenges #125.

A lovely card, gorgeous butterflies. Even if it does not show the correct shade it still looks good Maxine.
I do like how you finish your cards with a strip of washi tape inside. Very thoughtful.
