Flowers and butterflies

Today I was admiring the nice array of flowers in my garden that were attracting lots of bees and butterflies.

This year we decided to plant flowers that would attract the disappearing wildlife. Bees in particular, are certainly in decline here in the UK, and they are essential to pollinate the plants we grow.

 As my sister in law has a birthday this week I decided to design the card on the left.
 The flowers are a stamp from Crafty Individuals UK.
I also decided to enter my design for a challenge over at

Why not go over there and take a look, there are some nice things going on at this new website.

Such a very pretty & delicate card. It looks as though you stamped your image onto DP, and it was a perfect image on the soft blue paper. Will have to remember this & try it. Have some wild flower stamps that would be good to try. Will check out the link & TFS.
