Gruffies and Guests Challenge - May 2014 - Anything goes with the optional twist of "Spring"

It is the start of a new month at the Gruffies and Guests Challenge Blog.


The sponsor this month is "Di's Digi Stamps" and the lucky winner will win $10 to spend in the Di's Digi Stamps Store.
For my card I have used some decoupage from the Joanna Sheen House Mouse set called "Just the Two of Us".  Aren't they cute having a snooze in the flowers now that Spring has arrived?  I have made up the the decoupage.  It was a bit fiddly in parts but well worth it.

The backing papers are from my Creative Crafting World Perfect Papercrafting Companions CD and I have used yellow and orange papers to match the image.

I have finished my card off with some crepe paper flowers made using a Tim Holtz tattered flowers strip die with brad centres, lace, gingham ribbon, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment, gems and a gorgeous Prima butterfly (I got these butterflies off a friend for my birthday last year.  I didn't think I'd use them - not because they are horrible - I didn't think I'd use them as they were too nice!!!  I've been brave and used some.  This was a patterned one with a light orange background so I have coloured with a dark orange Promarker to match the colour scheme).

    Every detail of this sweet card is delightful. Love the image and the way you have showcased it. The flowers are so pretty, the gingham so whimsical, and that butterfly is gorgeous. Love the white scalloped edge to the card as well. Thanks for joining our Anything Goes/Easy as 1-2-3 challenge this fortnight at Craftitude. I hope we see you again soon.
