First I need to say a BIG congratulations to Pat aka pvilbaum on being chosen as Featured Stamper. I was overwhelmed looking at your gallery. Your cards are SO gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing. I chose this card to case.
I used different colors and a butterfly instead of flowers. The leaves I cut out of the corrugated cardboard from a burger box after I had stamped them with Always Artichoke. The flower stem is from Petal Prints. The butterfly is stamped and cut from a scrap. I did two of them so I could layer and pull up the wings on the top.
I had just received this die set and when I saw Pat's card, I knew I had to use it. Thanks Pat for sharing all your gorgeous cards.

Beautiful, Carol! Love your take on her card. I have a set like this and had no clue how to use it! Thanks for the inspiration. I always like your use of corrugated cardboard too. It's something I'd like to incorporate and never think to do that!

Outstanding beauty. Love the butterfly and the die cut. What great use of the burger box for the leaves, too.

Thanks carol for the butterfly! I will have to use this die with one also! When I first got the die I had a hard time trying to figure out just how to use it. It took me a couple of tries before I came up with the card you chose as inspiration! Those leaves from the corrugate are a great addition of texture!

Oh, what a wonderful trellis die - love it! And your beautiful butterfly. And I always love the way you use corrugated card. We need to get more take-out coffee, LOL.

I really like the heavy textured look of that ivory CS and the lattice die cut. It makes such a nice base for the olive green and the rosy tone of your butterfly. Beautiful natural looking card. So pretty!
