Two postings in one day. It's been a long time since I have managed that.
I had this image coloured a long time ago, but just never made a card. I love these First Edition papers and they are a perfect match for my flowers. 




I have used one of Ruth's digital images from A Passion for Stamps, First Edition papers, Promarkers, Elizabeth Crafts butterfly die, Stickles and the rest from my stash.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

I had a little play for the Less is More challenge. I dug out the old light box to make the embossed border. The little bees are Penny Black coloured with Promarkers.
