To make my card I used

• a woodware stamp (dogwood wreath),
• a paper pad from Phill Martin,
• a paper pad from Create and Craft,
• some ribbon from my stash,
• some self adhesive pearls bought from Crafty Devils and
• a stamped butterfly that I glittered and cut out before attaching as an embellishment.

I also used shabby shutters distress ink and some pink and green promarkers.

My card is my favourite 6 x 6 inch square base (although this one is a lovely pearlescent
green card bought from Anna Marie Designs).

Onto this I layered some paper from a Create and Craft member gift pad. I punched the corners with an inverted rounder so that the green base could be seen. I then cut a ribbon strip and a square from the Phill Martin double sided paper. I attached the patterned side of the strip across the centre of the first layer, and then, using the plain side of the paper square, stamped my image onto it with perfect medium and embossed it with olive green embossing powder.

When I had coloured in the stamp with the promarkers, I distressed the edge and mounted it onto some old gold pearlescent paper, and then stuck onto my card base using foam pads.

I tied some ribbon from my stash around one side of the card, finishing with a bow. Finally, I stuck the stamped and cut out butterfly onto the top of the wreath and the pearls onto the corners.
