I started with an 8x8 white card base, some pale peach centura pearl card and some backing paper from the Artylicious Butterfly Bliss CD. Before matting the backing paper I blended some Spiced Marmalade distress ink around the edges, and over stamped with the Leafy Branch stamp from Designs By Ryn, a very talented lady in Canada. Check out her website, she has some beautiful designs, and a very talented design team. After placing the backing onto the matting I added some ribbon, and flowers. The butterflies are from Chocolate Baroque, and are my all time favourite stamps, these were coloured with pro markers, then cut out. Before sticking them to the card I shaped them by hand, and added some feelers made with beading wire. I'll add a sentiment when I know who this will go to.

Hey Sue, I´m sorry to hear your family is going through a hard time. IT´s good that you are still taking time for yourself to do what brings you joy. Love what you´ve done with my stamps in combo with those Chocolate Baroque butterflies. Those stamps go very well together. You´ve really captured the warmth of that photo too. Gorgeous card!
