I saw this sketch and I knew I had to make a quick one for one of the Birthday cards I need for May! Love the sketch, Roxie! It is especially great for using scraps, which I used for my card.
I used the stamps from Thoughts and Prayers and from Happy Harmony. I stamped the flowers in pretty in pink and sage shadow. I have been playing with my sewing machine and came accross this great stitch that really borders images beautifully! I dry embossed my white background with my Swiss dots folder. Punched out my MS Butterfly from Bella Birds scraps and added three small pearls for its body and wa-la finished...
Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers, Happy Harmony
Accessories: pearls, MS Butterfly, EK Success Border Punch, pink grossgrain, hodgepodge hardware, Swiss dots folder, SU scalloped border punch for corners
Paper: Scraps of white, SU Bella Birds, and Pink Pirouette
