Lily-Boo-Too May Challenge

Well here's my last challenge card for today and many thanks for the kind comments I've received on the others - I'm quite enjoying being off work now and could easily get used to it. Luckily it's half term next week so I may be able to make a few more then too!! This one is for the Lily-Boo Too May card challenge. It had to be a shaped card so I cut out a butterfly with my trusty Cricut (getting to be a bit of a pattern developing here!! lol) from Gypsy Wanderings and two mats (bp Papermania - Sweet Nothings as before). I couldn't make it bigger as I've only got a C.Create, now I'm really wanting an Expression for the bigger cutting mat!! The image is a Lily Boo freebie which I coloured with Promarkers and highlighted with diamond stickles and glossy accents. I cut it out on my Cuttlebug (it's been gathering dust lately, ahh!!) and sponged around the edge while it was still in the die with Milled Lavender distress ink. I embellished the card with flowers using those little QVC punches which I love as well. A Craftwork Cards sentiment finishes it off with a little gem in her hair!
