Oh, Cathy, you're so good to us - giving us a challenge of May Flowers!
Perfect timing for my Flourishes Beautiful World card this month using Blossoms and Butterflies! Just outside my kitchen window our back fence is covered with clematis which is coming into bloom right now - it becomes a riot of pink! I stamped the image several times, colored it with copics and popped up a few layers on a sponged circle. The seam binding has been dyed with copics to match the clematis.

Oh my goodness Bridget, this is absolutely beautiful. Winer is only a couple of weeks away here so this card is a lovely reminder of springtime. I love the colours and your colouring, the stitching, the layers, the coloured seam binding.....have I left anything out. Just like Roberta said, can you tell I love this card!!

Beautiful clematis, Bridget!! Wonderful colors and coloring, I love the fun polka dots with these beautiful flowers and butterflies!!
My clematis has just about finished blooming, the early season heat made it so they didn't last as long.
