Happy Anniversary with Flowers/Butterflies/Springtime

I dream of Flowers/Butterflies/Springtime...none of it is in our area yet. Day after Day of dreary, wind, and cold.  But this card helped my frame of mind.



I distressed the edges of the card and added a lovely paper with punched corners. Some pearls and 4 different sized butterflies.
I used some pleated ribbon, made a white felt flower and popped in on top of a paper flower, and some layers of leaves. It calls Springtime to me.

Challenges for this Card:
Simon Says Stamp  "Anything Goes"  But it is their 2nd Anniversary. So Happy Anniversary.
Verve Stamps  "April Showers Brings May Flowers"
The Shabby Tea Room #59 "Butterfly Wishes"
Just Us Girls #81  "3-D/Template"
Stamptacular Sunday   #108  "Pile it On, at least 5 layers"
OLLCB  #78  "Aqua, Bling, and Sentiment"
Fussy and Fancy Friday  "Springtime"
Prairie Fairy Fridays  #51 "April Showers Brings May Flowers"


Thanks for stopping by, I always enjoy and appreciate any comments.  Have a wonderful week

Such a pretty card. So soft and wonderful! Love those butterflies. We definitely have spring here! Late yesterday and overnight major storms with tornado outbreaks everywhere over the most of the state! Sometimes Spring can be so dangerous!
