Sabrina gave us a perfect challenge today in the Ways to Use It challenge. We were asked to use butterflys and gardens. Thanks, Sabrina.
When I lived outside San Francisco, I used to love to go to the Japanese Tea Garden. Inside this multiple acreage dedicated land, I would see the most incredible trees not found anywhere else.
Cut out the G45 Asian female, used G45 for the vase and used all Memory Box dies (bamboo, flowers and BF) on this card. Scored all 4 sides with Score Pal.
TFL everyone!

This is gorgeous! Your beautiful Asian lady caught my eye in the thumbnail! Your fussy cutting is impeccable and what a brilliant use of that paper. I love how you fashioned the vase from it too. Beautifully done!

Lovely composition on this card, Anne. You picked such pretty dp and the flower arrangement in gorgeous. What a nice design decision to leave the butterfly white.
