Good Wednesday morning. I have a bright and cheerful flower and butterfly card to share with you today.
I punched the background panel using the Martha Stewart Flower Box PATP border punch to create and interesting border for the Trellis Border and Flower and attached to the card base with mounting tape. I attached mounting tape on both ends of the trellis and in the center where the flower head would cover it, attached it to the punched layer and covered the ends with thin scalloped pieces.
The stem and leaves were cut using the new Norrland Flower. I had made the Blooming Posie over the weekend and hadn’t used it to placed it on the stem instead of the Norrland Flower. I thought the lavender would be so bright and pretty against the white and marigold. I attached the flower to the trellis using glossy accents. I thought adding a few lavender butterflies would be the perfect finishing touch.
I hope you are enjoying seeing all the new dies I have used over the last couple of weeks. I am having so much fun. Credit and debit cards Beware!!! LOL!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I wish I could buy all these dies and more! I don't think my wallet could handle it, though. :) Your card is so bright and cheery. I love the colours you used.
