A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way....

 
Hi there!
 
I hope all is well with you!  I couldn't resist playing along with City Crafter Challenge this week!  Such a pretty inspiration photo!  The challenge calls for blue, green, and a splash of red on your project. 
 
And, here is my card...
 
 
 

For my card, I started with a light green card base and paired it with white and blue.  I made a tag and distressed the background with ink.  Dots were stamped in blue and green inks.  The leaves and butterflies were fussy cut.  Red gems were added to the butterflies.  I sprayed Perfect Pearls Mist in turquoise for a shimmer effect.  Not sure if you can tell very well in the following photo, but in real life it's very pretty.



Thank you for dropping by!  It's appreciated...take care!

Hugs,
Maria
