Cheery Lynn Challenge


It seems like ages ago since I've made a card for a challenge, so thought I'd enter this one into Cheery Lynns present challenge, which is 'Shades of Purple'.  I very rarely make a card with a coloured image, so this one is a little bit of a change for me.  The sentiment is from a set of stamps I bought in Florida last year, I used a spellbinders die to cut it out and mount,  I coloured the edges with Distress Ink and added a little bit of glitter, well you just have to don't you...... lol.  The butterflys and borders were cut with Cheery Lynn dies.
