My last card in the Wallflower collection that I have been making. Using one sheet of 12 x 12 paper from the Tim Holtz Wallflower paper stash to make 4 cards – bargain. If you have missed the others you can find them here, here and here on my blog or fuller versions here, here, and here on the Country View Crafts Updates blog.

Stamps – simple sayings, shabby french
Butterfly Frenzy strip die
Movers and Shapers butterfly die
Raffia made into a bow (my supplies)
Distress Inks – victorian velvet, aged mahogany, scattered straw, walnut stain

Love the pink and yellow on your pretty card, Brenda. I'm off to CVC for a closer look...

This a beautiful card Bren and I just love how you've put it together. Sometimes I look at a pretty paper and just don't want to cover it so it gets put back and not used. This is a fab example of how we CAN use them without detracting from their beauty. Fab, fab, fab! Chris xxx
