The flowers are hand-made. I know they don't look too realistic because IRL they wouldn't all be facing towards you and I should have buds towards the top--hey, I'm still learning...LOL. I've added bits of yellow glitter glue to the butterflies.
I made this card using this wonderful sketch from Totally Gorjuss Challenge 74.
Other challenges for this card: Creatalicious Challenges - Challenge 20 is asking for 2 colours/tones. I've tried to restrict myself to using just blue and green only. Even all the DP's only have the blue and/or green colours. But I've got bits of yellow there for the butterfly and grey for the stones. White doesn't count, does it? Oh well...

I've simply decorated the inside of my cards this way. I wanted to play around with the new Spellbinder dies I bought.
