SPECIAL FRIEND.

Hello to all my blogging friends, I hope that you are all having a lovely weekend. It started off a gorgeous sunny morning, but it has just gone very dark, the wind is starting to pick up and we are to get some heavy rain, and it looks like it is on the way, so crafting it is.



I would like to enter this card into the following challenge.

Just Add Ink.  Challenge #272.  BUTTERFLIES.

The background paper is from the First Edition - DREAMCATCHER paper pad. I have created a border using LILAC PEARLISED CARD punched down both sides with the
Martha Stewart - OPTIC DOT PUNCH, then this was mounted on MAGENTA MIRROR CARD.
All edges have a SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER to highlight and give definition too.
The sentiment reads:
"MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE OR EVEN COMPREHEND,
 THANK YOU GOD FOR YOU.... MY VERY SPECIAL FRIEND"

I have used the Spellbinders FOLIAGE SET with LILAC PEARLISED CARD. The flowers have been made using scraps of designer paper and card and two sizes of the DAISY PUNCHES with LILAC ROSEBUDS for the centres.
The bow is a 3D ITTY BITTY BOW and finally I have added a gorgeous BUTTERFLY by Die'sire called DELICATE BUTTERFLY

Thank you very much for coming to visit, I appreciate you all very much.
Happy crafting.
