I made this card for a dear friend of my mine who is going through a tough time to hopefully bring some happiness into her day and let her know that I am thinking of her.
I stamped the image onto 140lb watercolour paper and colored it with Faber Castell watercolour pencils. You can't tell from the photo, but I added some Kindyglitz Crystalina to the centres of the orange flowers. I punched a butterfly with a Carl Butterfly-A punch and added some tiny pink Kaisercraft gemstones to the body.
I sewed the button onto the sentiment panel then popped the panel up on foam pads. The ribbon was attached in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy. I didn't really want to add anything else to the card because the designer paper is rather busy.
