WOW! This is gorgeous Mrs A. I love the trellis design (thank you for the link), it really looks so effective. The colours and butterflies are so beautiful too.

Gorgeous, Mrs A! Very classy. Don't think I'd trust myself to cut all that! Off to take a look at the links xxx
Mra. A, I can picture the look of awed-delight that will appear on the face of the person who is so fortunate to receive this oh-so-pretty card! Not only have you followed through on your resolution (applause, applause!), but the time, thoughtfulness and creativity here is outstanding. Loveliness, both outside and inside your card. Impressive!! Speaking of 'lovely' - your comments on my blog! Thank you! Your words go a long way in keeping me motivated (especially on those days when the recycle bin is being more 'productive' than I am!) Hugs~c
Oh this card is just beautiful Mrs. A! I love how you did the front and I love the color combo as well as that beautiful butterfly.
Delightful card, inside and out!!!
Thanks for sharing with us at Aud Sentiment this week.
Hugs,
Sandy
This is amazing & beautiful! Love your work, Mrs. A!
You do make such interesting cards Mrs A, this is another beauty.
Great idea about filling my mini mannequins with lavender - now I may have to make some more! xx
You are amazing! Give me a craft knife and I give you blood. I love this pretty lattice that you cut and that butterfly is so pretty!
I admire you for trying so many new things. This is gorgeous. I can't do craft knife. I think I am afraid of it. The inside is also gorgeous. Great card.
Gorgeous card!! Such a pretty design! Love it!!
Thank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

So pretty! And so expertly executed Anne - WOW! You must have such a steady hand. I think dies and all those other cutting gadgets have rather made cutting with a knife and steel rule something of a rarity these days - for me anyway.
And thanks for your lovely comments again Ann - I have gone rather pompom made but I'm using those Clover gadgets to make them - so easy! I'm intending a post on the different sizes and yarns soon. x
Beautiful and elegant card Mrs A, so pretty tye way you have placed the pretty papers behind the trellis, you must have a steady hand to cut the apertures! :) Donna ♥ x
A gorgeous thank you card. Love the interesting background on the front.
