In the garden


I've been playing with some more of my new stash. The image is called in the garden and is from Little Claire. I was asked to make an 80th birthday card for a lady who likes birds and butterflies. When I saw the fab sketch with so many layers at A spoon full of sugar today I knew it would be perfect for an A5 card . One of the new MS punches I bought was the flower one I used on the horizontal paper. I hope you can see it as unfortunately a lot of it is now covered up.
