Ingredients
2 Patterned papers
1 Button
1 Ribbon and Bow

I went shabby chic with this one love the gorgeous colours of the blush collection!!! The frame has been stamped and cut out with the edges inked softy. I have stamped the butterfly very faintly under the happy birthday sentiment.

The vine, flowers and butterfly have been stamped directly onto the patterned paper and I have embellished with the three pearl brads. The flower is die cut scrunched up and inked to give shabbiness. finished in the center with a button and half a bow...

Paper: Basic Grey - Blush, heavy weight cartridge,
Stamps: Basic Grey - Bug/B2 Bitsy, HOTP - sentiment,
Die's: Sizzix - flower layers,
Ink: Distress inks, colourbox queues,

I would like to say huge congratulations to my BG team mate Anthea who has also had her work published in the BasicGrey gallery you can see her gorgeous cards here.
