I used an old Stampendous flower stamp to repeat stamp on A5 watercolour card with Versafine.   I watercoloured the centre and ruffled edges of the flowers in yellow and used pearlescent white to add a little shimmer to the rest of the perals.  I stamped another flower on to another snippet of watercolour card then coloured and fussy cut it out.  

I used a Crafters Companion printed pad with matching die to cut the cream and orange butterfly.  I die cut two mini butterfly dies from a black snippet.  Finally I die cut the Spellbinders die from white card and stamped the sentiment which I edged with Distress ink.  

Finally I embellished with lace and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
