I had a terrible time with this card because I could not find the designer paper I wanted to use. Probably because I was in a hurry. In the end, I think I am happy with it.
I am using two of Flourishes sets, FRIENDLY REMINDERS for the sentiment and A YEAR IN FLOWERS CALENDAR Set 3 - Sept thru December. Well, it's July but I guess that's close enough.
I used a good bit of stickles on the butterfly and centers of flowers and some greenery around the sentiment. Colored with Copics. I used a corner punch at the top. Of course, I sponged with my Memento Dandelion ink which I love.
Also, I'm entering my card into the Divas by Design challenge #5-die cuts and/or punches. I certainly used several of those.
Recipe:
Stamps: Flourishes Friendly Reminders (sentiment) and Calendar Set 3 (Sept. thru Dec.)
Paper: Stampin'Up Perfect Plum and So Saffron, Georgia Pacific for image, unknown dp
Ink: Memento Dandelion and Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Nestabilitie (Deckled), SU circle punch, EK Success punch for greenery, yellow stickles, Martha Stewart laurel leaf punch for corners, Martha Stewart classic butterfly punch, gemstones, Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder
