This card I made from an off cut base but didn't add any overhangs to square things up, never mind! The pink bottom paper is another from the butterfly bloc but then I saw a pretty paper in the new Rose Garden pack PK9102 that had a similar design so fussy cut out the flowers from the corner of the sheet to fix on my card with silicone glue. I've added another strip of the pretty daisy flowers along with a ribbon bow, then die cut the banner and birds. The banner and text are from COL1324, the bird on a branch is from LR0137 and the little bird from set LR0205. The faux stitching around the edge of my pink paper is done with LR0161 and I've inked and distressed to highlight the embossed areas on the die cuts.
The Dream Valley challenge is to say it with words, so as I have words on both my creations I can enter them into that challenge.
Today it's shopping and gardening, if it doesn't start raining again, although I'll have to leave the strimming with the new gadget until things dry out a bit, and by then the lawn will need cutting again as well! It's that time of year, turn your back and things sprout everywhere .. .. there are lots of dandelions flowering in the lawn but when I see the bumble bees sipping the nectar I haven't the heart to cut them off!
Gorgeous cards as usual Annie. Sorry I haven't been around for ages but I've been very lazy and easily discouraged from blogging when my broadband is being awkward. So I've had a lovely browse round your blog today.
