I had seen an example of a card to make in a magazine and as it was all in pinks, flowery , butterflies and had a dreamy effect to it thought I would have a go at my own version. So straight to the snippets folder (that is bulging at the seams) and pulled out the papers below. The stamp I had already used on a piece of paper and not used when I made my altered book for Sherry. I used my Spellbinders 'Rose creations die' but left the petals flat instead of sculpting into a rose shape. (what a diference it makes). I added stitching to the edges before matting onto pale green card stock. Butterfly die is Spellbinders trio S3-146.
The magazine said 80mins to make. Huh! Which 80 mins would that be then. Several of my 80 mins later here is the result. I was going to add a flourish or two but think the card works perfectly as it is. What do you think? Entering into Pixies Crafty Snippets. I even left the threads hanging for you Sherry!

Such a pretty card! I'm glad you kept going after 80 minutes--it's fabulous! LOVE the sentiment panel and the butterflies and the way you left the rose die cut flat is genius! :)

Love the colours (natch!), stitching, and the flower is great too. Did I mention the sentiment and butterflies? Thought not - it's all round fabulous and perfect as it is without flourishes. A beauty :)

This is very pretty! My cards usually take at least an hour to make, too. :D
Thanks for leaving some love at my blog recently...it was nice of you to visit!
Perfect just as it is! (I think I might have these papers at a bottom of a drawer!) First in the playground must mean extra time on the swings and the climbing frame!
Looks like the several 80 minutes were well worth the effort! LOL. It turned out beautifully!
Thank you for joining us this week at Fab'n'Funky!
