Sister

It's ages since I've posted (or done much commenting) as we've been away in the campervan for the last six weeks.  We're now at home until September so I hope to crack on with some crafting over the next few weeks.  This card is for my sister's birthday - although it's not her birthday until later in the year I can post now as she doesn't read my blog.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" cream hammer card blank
     Hunkydory Sunflower Surprise Floral Deco-Large oddments
     Creative Expressions 'From the Heart - Female Relations' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' dies
     Snippets of brown textured card, Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper and gold mirri card

I trimmed the Antebellum paper, layered it onto brown textured card and attached it to the card front.  I had used part of the Hunkydory Deco-Large kit, but had enough layers of the sunflowers in my oddments drawer to make this image - the flowers were shaped slightly and layered with foam tape before being attached to the card.  I die cut 'Sister' from a snippet of gold mirri card and used Artist-Tac to attach it to the top of the card.  Two small butterflies were cut from gold mirri snippets and attached one on each side of the sunflower vase.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Butterfly Challenge - Flowers with your Butterfly
     Crafty Calendar Challenge - Anything Goes
     Daisy Chain Challenge - Summertime
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes

A beautiful card for your sister Kath, and love the bright and pretty sunflowers and parcels together with the delightful added die cut gold butterflies and sentiment, and the light brown mat really complements it perfectly. Hope you had a good six weeks away. x
