Retirement



Here's a card I made last year and forgot to blog. Amazing what you find when you're sorting out your computer files!

I started with an 8x8 scalloped card blank and used lots of my LOTV goodies. The papers are from the Bonnets and Bowties pad and go really well with the Wild Flowers Art Pad image. I matted them onto a pale green shimmer card and rounded all the corners. Sentiment is from the For You Circular set. 

The flowers and the two dragonflies were cut with my Cheery Lynn dies and I also used Spellbinders Circle and Timeless Rectangle dies.  The gems, card candy, bakers twine and ribbon were from stash as was the sweet butterfly brad used to secure the ribbon.
