Disappointed But Not Discouraged Part 2

Okay, this is another card I made that didn't get picked up by PaperCrafts Mag.  The theme was Sunshine.  Had to make a encouragement type card.  I really like how this turned out but it was really time consuming since I didn't have a die or anything to do the work for the sun part.  Here it is:

(Click to view larger image)

1. Cut card base.  2. Cut black mat and adhere to card base.  3. Cut sun and rays from 3 shades of yellow card stock.  4. Stamp dot flourish on sun rays and adhere to card.  5. Stamp sentiment on sun circle and adhere.  6. Die cut two flowers from pink and green paper, cut flower part from green and replace with pink, attach to card.  7. Die cut two butterflies from black and orange paper, adhere small orange pieces into black butterfly.  8. Adhere flocking powder to butterfly.  9. Attach wire to butterfly and adhere to card with foam tape.

I love the flocking on the butterfly.  Need to get more of this powder.  I think that'll be it for me for now.  Have a fabulous day!
