I started by stamping one of the images from AALL & Create Be A Little Flashy stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white smooth card which I coloured with Tonic Studios alcohol markers, blending along the way.  I trimmed then adhered the stamped image onto Sizzix Textured card.

  
I stamped the Clarity Crafts sentiment onto a snippet of white card.  I trimmed three different patterned papers, one to fit an A5 card and two large snippets to mat and layer.

I used patterned paper snippets to die cut two Memory Box flower dies, Sizzix Textured card snippets to die cut a John Next Door flower plate, snippets of green card were used with a Sizzix Bigz die.  I die cut a butterfly from a Crafters Companion paper pad and die.  I glued the separate parts of the flowers together and put to one side, I separated the Bigz card leaves and put to one side.

I added,d the stamped image using foam pads, adhered the sentiment with a mix of foam pads and PVA glue.  I adhered the butterfly, the flowers and the leaves.  I finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x
