It took me two days to make this card because I kept changing the layout! I used a Craft UK scalloped card blank. The lime green card is from Papermill and the flowered backing paper is from Joanna Sheen's Baby Love CD. I cut the paper with a Spellbinders grand nestie before matting on to the green card. A piece of green satin ribbon was tied in a bow across the top corner before fixing to the card blank. The Saturated Canary image was coloured with Promarkers and cut with a grand nestie oval. While it was still in the nestie I used Distress Ink round the inner edge. The top right die cut is a Spellbinders and the bottom left is a Marianne. I bought the three silver flower charms at Bluewater Craft Show but there is no name on the packet, sorry. The sentiment stamp is by LOTV which I stamped and shrunk to make it a better size for this design.

Hi Hazel. I'm glad you stuck with it until your were happy with the layout as it's turned out a lovely card. The design is great, the image is beautifully coloured and your nice neat bow across the top corner is awesome. If I could do bows like that I'd be a very happy bunny.
