For this week's TLC brought to us by Joan ~ Colour the Texture.
And while it's not totally a little-girl card, I'm pretty short on time this week, so I made my poppies pink instead of red and will be using this for my MMTPT310 card this week.
I embossed white card and coloured it with pencils. I used a knitting needle that was on my desk to score some detailing into the white areas of the petals since I thought we probably weren't meant to colour them - and the texture really brought them to life!
Sponged a base with green stain, added ribbon and bling, and then finished it off with some pink butterflies with their wings edged with green Stickles.

Your card is beautiful, Sabrina! Your outlined flowers look so pretty, and the butterflies add a special touch to your flower garden; a very girly card! You inspired me to use Nice & Easy Notes, so that's what I did with my card.

It's so hard to color on those thin lines, and you did a great job! I may have to make another card with tiny lines, it looks really terrific and I have a new embossing folder, tee hee!
I think this should work great for the Teapot challenge, too; those butterflies just nailed it!
