So it's May already and here in Australia we are looking at the gradual decline into winter. So when I am faced with the oncoming cold I want to reach for the bright colours, flowers and butterflies to remind me that winter will end eventually.
With this in mind here is my latest creation for my sister's birthday.

Blue + powder blue + glitter cream card stock from stash

Card Tip:
I always try and buy embellishments I can tailor to my needs, like these flowers.
They are white; so I can make them any colour I like and personalise them to suit my card.
