I am entering this card into the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday blog challenge #125. The challenge is to make a card for a near or far away friend and use the word 'friend' in the sentiment. http://flourishes.org/2011/07/timeless-tuesday-125/
Did a bit of sponging with one of my favorites, Memento Dandelion ink, added some greenery, and some yellow stickles to center of the flowers and butterfly

Oooh, will you be sending me this card with the seashell PATP? You are just too good to me for an old lady!! With your eyesight, you probably wouldn't miss that punch anyway. But, seriously, Benz, this is soooo pretty and I love all your extra touches and details. Your flowers came out great and I love your sparkly b/fly and punched borders. You did way good - must have used that lighted magnifying glass I sent you - good girl!

No Pamzi. She'll be sending it to me. I'm the one who's far away silly! And she's sending it with the punch she used for the corners 'cuz I don't have that one. Of course, she probably won't send it until I get her birthday card in the mail... {insert sheepish face here - I know Da Benz likes sheep you see}. Good to see you got a good punch workout making this beauty Benzalina. Love it. I'll wait by the mailbox. (BTW, I still chuckle every time I see the 'vintage' punch I have sitting on my stamping desk.)

What a pretty card Miss Benzi...that image sure is gorgeous and that dandelion ink you've been using is perfect for sponging. Wonder if I have that...
Beautiful card.

This is so very pretty Benzi. I love the way you colored your daisies. The corner treatments are so clever and the sentiment is fantastic. Such a cute card!
