Happy birthday Karen....

 Its my friend Karen's birthday today and this is the card I made for her (sorry about the wonky photopragh).
I used Indigo Blu Elizabeth Bennett image which I coloured lightly on her flesh parts and added a soft green background, and a touch of colour on the butterfly... I just 3D the flowers and the little bird.
Papers I used were from LOTV Nitwit Country Lady collection, Stampin UP embossing folder along the centre although you cant see much of it, Spellbinders Lattice frame, sentiment was also LOTV and flowers from Wild Orchid crafts.

 Hope you have all been enjoying this glorious weather its certainly far too nice to be in the craft room so just popped up to post Karen's card.

 My bread turned out really well but didn't last long...there's nothing like the taste of warm bread, so I will be baking again at the  weekend....

    Hello Anne
    Your friend is certainly going to enjoy looking at this card, the many layers of your papers is a perfect backdrop to the beautiful image. There is interest and texture with your added elements, which combined together create a beautiful flow. It is just beautiful.
