Daisy Daisy....

Welcome

Today marks the start of another challenge over at Word Art Wednesday
Our wonderful scripture is crafted by Karen Walker, and is available free, over at the challenge site. 
Our sponsor this challenge is Stamp Simply
(I will be blogging the card I made with their product tomorrow)

My mojo had totally deserted me when I came to make this card, and I was rifling through the box of backgrounds on my desk, and came across this photo - 
taken over a decade ago, with card making in mind... 


There is even a bee there, just above the second E of eye ...


I trimmed out the printed scripture and adhered it after framing it with a gold faux stitched border


The butterfly was die cut from gold sparkle paper and mounted on a foam dot

A beautiful text you took for on these flowers! The tuches of gold give it such an elegance!
The translation on my card from monday is: Enjoy all you can today!
Stay save, hugs, Gerrina

What a charming card Maxine. I love daisies - they always look so fresh and how you have them arranged in little groups is so pretty. mOf course the butterfly is a gorgeous addition and I suspect the bee is but I cannot find him at the moment, maybe this headache has a bit to do with it.
Blessings, Neet xx
