For a friend

Ok, cards are not one of my craft strengths... I wanted to create one for a friend but instead of that the result has been more a mini layout than a card. It measures nearly 7x7!

I've used some WOC and IAR flowers. They have been distressed with walnut stain TH ink.

The bird is a stamp from a bird set (Martha Stewart) that my friend Emma sent to me. I stamped it, painted with LSG products and then "fussy" cut out. It's adhered onto the paper with foam dots, the same as the diecut frame. Sentiment has been black embossed. To give a more aged look to the paper it has been sprayed with LSG choc truffle and though hardly aprecciated, there are gold ink stamped butterflies at the back ground. Chipboard swirls (Dusty Attic) under the flowers and the paper butterflies are distressed also.

Thanks for reading!
