I have a card to share which I made using the gorgeous Spring colours of this week's Play Date Cafe challenge and I have to say the photo inspiration really does make you feel like Spring is around the corner (even though it was 4 degrees first thing this morning!)
I coloured the flowers with Promarkers. I then stamped a Hobby Art butterfly 3 times in the brown ink and coloured them with Promarkers. I cut the butterflies out. I embossed a strip of card sponged with Dried Marigold Distress ink with the Cuttlebug Herringbone folder. I assembled the card as you see, adding a sentiment by Hobby Art cut out with a Nestabilities die and sponged with the Marigold ink. I put this on a scalloped mat coloured with the same Aqua Promarker as the butterflies.
I'm also entering this in the following challenge:
Sentimental Sundays Challenge 44 - Anything Goes (plus a sentiment)
Thanks for looking,

Your piece for the challenge is beautiful. I lov ethe way you have used the blue for the butterflies...they really 'pop' off the page..., perfect colour for your accent colour, lovely!
I wish I could identify the flowers, but I am not sure exactly which flowers they are.
Perhaps, one day, you could give me some felting tips, I think that is more difficult than spinning.

What a beautiful, happy, colourful card Fliss - I love it, it's so eyecatching. Thanks so much for joining us in the play date cafe this week :)
Absolutely Beautiful! Very nice job; your creativity is an inspiration to me :) Thank you for sharing!
This is so eye-catching. I really like how you left a few flowers uncolored so it looks like they just fade into the background. Thanks so much for playing along at The Cafe again this week.
Stunning stamping, gorgeous combination of colours, thanks for sharing xxx
