Birthday Butterfly Wishes (Elisabeth Bell image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't used this image in quite some time but it is one of my favourites from Elisabeth Bell, I think she's so sweet.

I made the sky background (which was originally going to be used on a water style card with a mermaid). I used some distress inks, I placed a template over the top of it and sprayed water which took some of the colour away. I thought it looks a little like clouds now. I used some Lawn Fawn hillside and flowers borders along with their sun and circle dies too. 




I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps -  flowers and butterflies (card no. 3)
As you like it - Fave die and why - I love my stitched square dies as they go on any card so easily and I don't have to measure my square. I love the stitched element as it gives a lovely border to the square. I also love the grass and flower border dies too for nature scenes.
