SPRING BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERS

A spring themed card is what The Outlawz Monday Greeting Card challenge is all about this week, and here is my entry, using a Bugaboo Stamp called Dandelion Butterflies


As the image is [almost] a silhouette, it required minimal colouring, which I did using alcohol markers and some Stickles:


I used the following from my stash to make up my card:

white CS card base
butterfly themed DP
black CS die cut
paper roses
sewn on flower sequins and beads
