Using one of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One, create your card base out of white card stock using the Spellbinders Grand Circles die to make your window.  My card measures approximately 6″ round.  After your base for the card is created, cover the front of the card with paper from the Butterfly Dreams Paper Collection.  The large butterfly was stamped on white card stock using Watering Can and die cut with the matching die before coloring with a combination of Teal ink and Metallic chalks before accenting with a quickie glue pen and a combination of Teal and Black micro glitter.  The Carmelia Carnation flowers were stamped on white card stock using versamark and heat embossed with vintage pink embossing powder before die cutting with the matching dies and coloring with Magenta Hue and Violet inks finally shaping with the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold and the flower shaping tools.  The leaf flourishes were stamped on white card stock using olive ink and die cut with the matching die before distressing with bamboo leaves ink.  The Lilac flowers were stamped on white card stock using versamark and heat embossed with super fine white detail embossing powder before die cutting with the matching dies and colored with violet ink and shaping with the 3D Floral Basics Shaping Mold and the flower shaping tools before finally accenting the centers with stamens.  The sentiment was stamped on white card stock using versamark and heat embossed with violet embossing powder before die cutting with the Fleur Border Basics Die and attaching as shown.

Have a wonderful day!
