Just for You

This is the final card that I created for the new Joanna Sheen Cardmaking Collection - Issue 2 produced by Practical Publishing.

For this one I used the die, a sentiment and one of the papers from the free girfts included in the collection.

I also fussy cut a couple of tiny butterflies from one of the papers to use as embellishments.

The ribbon is from my stash.
