Hi all well once again I have been a little absent.  I thought I would pop in though and share a card I have made today.   This card is made with a Lili of the Valley Art Pad - True Love. A collegue of mine commissioned me to make the card for another colleague who used to work on our ward.     Here's the inside of the card. I have used a couple of embossing folders and added some ribbon onto the center of the card. Embellished with dazzlers and a punched butterfly. The sentiment I have created in Serif. Finally I added a few details on the dress, hearts and butterfly with Stickles Star Dust. Thanks all for stopping by and looking at my card. Rachel xxxxx
