Oh, how does your garden grow...

Good morning everyone!  Are you ready for the new challenge at Paper Crafting Journey?  A nice easy one this time, and perfect for the season.  This time the theme is Flower Power.  So let's see those projects with some pretty flowers!


Our wonderful sponsor is Crafty Sentiments, and they've provided this sweet image titled Lady Bird and Butterfly.  I had lots of fun colouring her up with my copics and some pencil, with a bit of sparkle added here and there.  Once again, I've used a Spellbinders die for cutting and matting, but I've fancy cut just a wee bit of her hair.

Some polka dots today, for both paper and ribbon, and a simple stamped sentiment.   The added flower and leaf are a cut and print from Fred She Said, and I've added some shimmer with Perfect Pearls powder. The flower center is a combination of yellow stickles and gold glass beads.

Now that summer is finally here, with luck we'll be enjoying lovely flowers in the garden.  But for those days for when flowers don't bloom, how about making a card to brighten someone's day.
