♥ Butterfly Garden ♥

That is the name of one of Pink Paislee's new lines. And the papers are so beautiful! I couldn't wait to make a card using them!
I also used a pearl flourish (from Michael's), a chipboard frame that I painted white, distressed with a little brown ink and then smothered it in glitter, some satin ribbon, pearls, mini roses and some Melissa Frances rub-on transfers.
I used last week's beautiful sketch from the My Time Made Easy blog. Pretty Pattern 02.

I was also inspired by the following challenge(s):

♥ Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge: Butterflies
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Hugs and much love...
