In The Garden

 Morning and we have a new ATG/In The Garden challenge today at 613 Avenue Create and I made another Mini album/trifold card,now the last one took a day this one slightly a lot longer maybe a week? kept changing my mind lol.

The butterflies on the front  was from a  craft mag freebie set and stamped onto leftover oddments of smooshed paper then fusst cut-the little wooden Bees and Ladybirds were from Amazon.

P.papers from stash and so was ribbon-couldn't decide whether to use white or pale green so used both!

The stamps were a mixture of Chocolate Baroque,Pink Frog and AALL and Create coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents.

Border stamp from Crafters Companion-leaf dies from The Works and I paper pieced the little snails with snippets of stamped paper.Background stencil from That's Crafty.

Hi Carol. Love the way you've used 'snippets' to overstamp and create these lovely butterflies. It's such a pretty trifold, and the delicate lacy border is perfect for your flower gardens and butterflies. This is a wonderful way to add your sweet bees onto your design! TFS & Hugs.
