My garden is a riot of colours right now and we have two Azaleas next to each other, one flame, and the other bright pink which are truly glorious to view. This die cut piece reminds me of those two plants.
When I was cutting out the fancy Crafters Companion wreath the other day, I couldn’t remember how the 2 piece dies fit together and so I messed up. I liked this half of the mistake so I set it aside and continued with the card I was aiming for. As often happens this piece ended up on a some white CS and I liked it even more so I decided to use it on a card front. It was slightly narrower than the card front so I added it and then cut the excess card front off. With another small scrap piece of the same photo/PP I die cut the butterfly. The dots are pops of color from Scrapbook.com. I couldn’t figure out which sentiment or how I wanted a sentiment to look so I set the card aside for a while. Coming back to it, I decided to pull out some sentiment stamps and play around but they wouldn’t curve the way I wanted. Then I thought about cutting up the longer sentiment, from GKD and adding them as you see . They look erratic which is how a butterfly flies. I liked this so glued them after adding a bit of sparkle with a gelly roll pen. I also added a bit of sparkle to the flower centres and the butterfly body.
It is such fun to use my hubby’s photo in this manner and I just love the colours. I am entering the card into the Fourseasons challenge. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it a lot.

It is certainly a riot of colour – but you can see the die cut despite that – very effective of the white
