Happy Birthday Farm Girl (Kenny K girl and Bugaboo fence images)

Hi crafty friends,

I have created this Fall inspired card with a Kenny K girl and a Bugaboo fence, I thought they go quite well together, hope you agree.

I have used one of our brand new exclusive flowers from Flourish with a Bling, the gorgeous orange one and also part of one of our rhinestone flourishes (Elise Antique Brown) and some olive green pearls as butterfly "bodies". 

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.
