Crafts-Too Challenge You - The Natural World Twist 2

This week on the Crafts-Too Challenge You Blog we still have our main theme of 'the natural world' but our twist has changed to 'any winged creature'.  You can find all the details and see the cards from the rest of the Design Team here on the challenge blog.

For my card I die cut the Crafts-Too 'Fanciful Flowers' die using green card and then trimmed the flowers off so it fitted the square card I wanted to use.  I coloured die cut butterflies with alcohol markers and both of these were attached to a piece of white card embossed with the Crafts-Too Dots embossing folder.  I added pearls to the butterflies and a peel off greeting to finish the card.
