Live Well, Laugh Often



Punches used for Cherry Blossoms


Today my card was designed around this beautiful die cut butterfly from Joan's Gardens.  The design paper is from a new paper pack called "Butterfly Garden Collection".  Isn't this beautiful paper!  Down in the corner is a picture with a branch of cherry blossoms, so I decided to create some dimensional cherry blossoms for my embellishment on this card.  The punches used for these flowers are the "Large Splatt", "Medium Blossom", "Small Cosmo" and "Mini Sun".  The branch I used is cut using the "Birds & Branches" Sizzix die. All the information for making these pretty flowers are in the Flower Book you can purchase from Joan's Gardens.  I love working with this book because it has so many pretty flowers and the instructions are very easy to follow.  The flowers were shaped using the Flower Tool Kit.  When you have the right tools to work with, it sure makes creating flowers very easy. 

The sentiment is from the new JustRite "Signs of Life" stamp set.  This set has a lot of beautiful frames, corners and sentiments.  The  pretty butterfly die is a Cheery Lynn "Oriental Butterfly" doily die.  The pretty design paper is backed with black card stock.  To finish the card, black Kaiser Craft pearls were added to each corner and on the body of the butterfly.  The sentiment was attached with dimensional dots.

All products used on this card can be purchased from Joan's Gardens.

This morning Joan posted a lot of new dies that I'm sure you will like.  Be sure to check them out at Joan's Gardens.

Tomorrow is Tuesday so I will have a tag for the Joan's Gardens Weekly Tag Challenge.
