Elephants never forget....

Hi Susan here....

At Creative Card Crew a new challenge has begun today and the theme is 'NO FLOWERS', for full details of the challenge and to see some fabulous inspiration from the design team call across HERE and join in the fun with us.

Now onto my card...

Now this challenge was a hard one for me, I love putting flowers on my cards, and when I was searching for backing papers I realised that I couldn't even have flowers on them as well. My stash box is overflowing with bits and pieces, and I found these papers. My lace, ribbon and pearls are from our local market. The little butterflies are made using a punch I have coloured them with inks and added pearls for the bodies. The three hearts are made from chipboard using a die from Sizzix, I have added pearls and glitter.


The ever so cute image is from Robyns Fetish our sponsor for this challenge. I have coloured it using chalks only. The edges of the topper have been inked.

The word sentiment has been made on my computer, the die cut is from the Tickled Pink Store. The outer edges have been inked.

This completes my sentiments on the card, this is the inside.

  8. This is lovely Mam. The green butterflies look so pretty and the image is so cute. What a difference having no flowers makes to a card, it's fab without them and it would probably look so beautiful with them also. Great job xxx
