From the Garden

Time for a new bi-weekly challenge at Allsorts.
 Helen's week to chose and she has chosen: From the
 Garden or Anything Goes.  




 I have been enjoying my Spellbinders Arch dies lately.  I created
an arch opening  on an embossed card front, picked out some pretty
flowered paper and created a shaker card with flower and round
sequins.  I added 3 butterflies and a sentiment.  
 
Gardens are a beautiful and peaceful place. 
 
Join in the fun with a garden or ATG's card and be inspired by my
team mates at:  Allsorts Challenge.
 
Our prize is three die sets from Oakwood Direct and an 
A5 stamp set from AALL and Create 
 
 Supplies:
Spellbinders: Perfect Touch Arches and Tag 
Catherine Pooler: Happy Butterflies
Darice Embossing Folder 
Lawn Fawn Extra Sentiment Banner die
Shaker filler: Pretty Pink Posh and Studio Katia 
 
One of my favorite crafting buddies:

Such a pretty card. Sometimes you just need a "Because" card. Nicely done. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for a Anything goes theme using die cuts or dry embossing.

Very pretty. I love arch cards. I have new arch dies that are needing attention, but not enough time to use them yet. Cute crafting friends.

I love how you used the arch opening to frame the floral paper and create a charming shaker element, and the bright butterflies add movement and color that makes the whole garden themed design feel cheerful and inviting.
