Butterfly's and Baskets

Hello to all my crafty friends, hope you all have been enjoying the sunshine today, I know I have.  Just wanted to share another of my Clean and Simple cards that I have been working on recently.




 It is a new style for me, I must admit I do love my bling and embellishments, but I am really enjoying them although I have to ban myself from keeping on adding to the card and have not allowed myself to use any of my favourite paper roses and flowers.


I have used again my favourite pad from Lili of the valley The lovely Promises pad and added an embossed frame.  The image is also LOTV, coloured with my spectrum noir pens.



  I decided to cut out the butterfly's separately and mount them on foam pads.


  The flower is one that I made using a die my lovely friend Karen has lent to me and considering I didn't have a clue what I was doing I am very pleased with how it turned out.  However Karen s are far far better so I will have to get her to show me how she does it.




 The butterflys are cut using a memory box die and the sentiment is from spelbinders.


Just a few of my favourite pearls and the name of the birthday girl, and it is all finished ready for my daughters friends birthday.   Hope you like it and it gives you some ideas

Bye for now from Sunny Devon

Best Wishes
Maria
