Wild Orchid Craft's Challenge

Good Morning I cannot believe that my weekend went by in a flash, Monday sees a new challenge over at Wild Orchid Craft's and this week it is fancy folds, I have made an easel card for mine as I am not very good with lots of folds.....

I have used the gorgeous Maya's Balloons from Mo's Digital Pencil, she has been coloured with markers and a touch of white pen, I have gone for summery colours as it has been raining here all month and I needed a cheery outlook, the papers are First Edition Boho Chic and they are so summery, the edges have all been distressed with chalk inks, I have die cut a couple of butterflies using an old die I found in my draw with some Amber Gems on them, I have used a simple sentiment with a bit of scrap Ribbon and my gorgeous summery flowers are Cherry Blossoms, Sweetheart Blossoms and 25mm Tea Roses, I have glittered everything with Stardust for sparkle...

I have used 2 large Pearl Brads to help keep the card in the upright position...
