Live, laugh, love

Hello everyone and I hope you are having a good week!  I'm here today with a card using my favourite Quixotic Paperie goodies!




This is the beautiful Elven Samenah that I matched up with my current fave Glitz Designs French Kiss papers and used Bazzill kraft cardstock for the base.  And do you like those sweet little butterflies?  They are from the Whimsy Raindrop Echo Friendship Ticket Sentiment set and the sentiment is from the Whimsy Raindrop Echo Ticket Sentiments set.  I just love love love those Make It Crafty stamps - what a pleasure to colour in! Here's a close up...







I hope you like!  That's it from me today but don't forget you still have a day left to join in with the March/April sketch challenge for a chance to win a £10 voucher to the store!  See the deets here!

ttfn!
