We have a very large garden with flowering bushes, trees, and vines, along with bulbs and annuals. Every year, a local limo service brings teens with their parents to our yard to take prom photos! I have finally given up asking people to NOT step into the garden when they take their shots. Even when I ask, they still trample the flowers. This year I've decided to turn the sprinklers on them! JUST KIDDING! Really, I'm kidding...Or am I?!!! *insert crazy evil laugh here! I'm not going to do that. Besides, Speedy the Cat enjoys watching the cars line up down our street with "prom parents!"
The flower layers and butterfly are made from Spellbinders dies. I used my Copic Airbrush to color the sections. The leaves are a Sizzix die.

Lovely card. Love the layered flower. Think you need to charge a "flower charge" for all those posing in your garden!!

so you must have a gardener for that gorgeous, large yard, or are we discovering another of your talents, Faith? My yard has gone to the weeds since I discovered the joys of stamping!
Your colors are absolutely perfect for the IC, this is one beautiful card!
