I was asked by a friend to make a card for his wife's 50th Birthday, I had a free hand in the design the only stipulation was that I used green. I wanted to make something soft and romantic so the Italian Poetry background seemed perfect with the Heart Flourish. Its based on this card that I made a while back and was really pleased with. The butterflies have been lightly water coloured with distress inks and then covered with glossy accents. I then added lots of pearls and then layered it up on a background made with the Leaf and Floral Background stamp. The sentiment has been computer generated.
I am going to add this card to the challenge at A Blog Named Hero, the theme is freestyle.
This will be my last post for a couple of week as we are off on our holidays, we are going back to Nice in the South of France again this year, we all had such a great time last year and there are still places that we need to visit there. Before I go I must thank all my visitors again for leaving such lovely comments, I really appreciate you finding time to stop by my blog.

I've just been asked the same thing :). So thank you for the inspiration. Both (this & the original) cards are so beautiful. Love those glossy butterflies.

OMG this is exquisite Sally! What a way to leave us just before going on holiday, awesome inspiration! I hope you have a wonderful time. I was wondering whether you would be venturing anywhere near Jacqueline in the South of France whilst you were there? Wouldn't that be awesome!
