This card was definitely created while thinking about warmer temperatures, flowers blooming and butterflies hanging out in our gardens. I think it will work as a Mother's Day card. The background is more yellow that this photo shows.
I used a sheet of designer paper that's been hanging out in my stash for the background. (6x6 Basic Grey). I used the Butterfly Daisy Collage set from Chocolate Baroque to create this design which is on special for TWO weeks starting today. 'With Love' is from the Loving Sentiments set.
I ordered the pretty Spellbinder -Labels Eight, Decorative Elements dies after seeing beautiful designs using it at Donna's Blog. It certainly makes the 'standard' Label Eight die decorative. I coloured the images with Prisma Pencils and decoupaged the butterfly & a few daisies.
Here is a look at the stamp set, there are so many possibilities with these beautiful designs. It's 'sister set' Butterfly Poppy Collage is also on special.

Ein traumhaft schönes Werk. Ich liebe die Farben.
Und ich sollte diesen Stempel auch mal wieder aus der Versenkung holen :-)
Ich warte auch sehnsüchtig auf den Frühling.
Es ist so bitter kalt, und kein Ende abzusehen :-(
Liebe Grüße und Umarmung xx
You have used the stamps so well to make this terrific card. The colours are terrific and definitely give us a hope of Spring
Love Chrissie xx
This is stunning Shirley, I love the stamp you've used, from one of my favorite stamp sheets. I love the colours you've used, the butterfly looks so beautiful, and the daisys also.
Hope your snow soon melts, the sun is out here at the moment, but it's very cold and other areas of the UK are forecast to have lots of snow today.

So pretty Shirley, love your colours! xx
The colours make it allmost possible to feel the warmer temperature you was thinking of! Beautiful colors! Have a fine weekend, hugs, Gerrina
I really love the way you're not afraid of using vibrant colours & how you combine their use with black. I love the way that your background yellow is brought into the central image via those daisies & how the vibrant purple you used for the butterfly pops against the other colours. Your black matting is gorgeously accentuated by the Spellbinder frame.
