Just like a Butterfly ~ In the Watercolour Garden

Hello Mary here today to share a layout using the new In the Watercolour Garden Range , such a beautiful range !

With the 12 x 12 papers you also receive a 4 X 12 " strip of each pattern. I have fussy cut the butterfly image from this strip to add in the corner of my photo and create a cluster , adding both sheer ribbon and satin ribbon from Megs shop into the cluster . Also I used the left over paper from the strip to make a couple of die cut flowers to pop in the cluster. How gorgeous is the gold cups that I added the clear bead in the centre . I used the vine wire to add extra dimension to the fussy cut image to add extra branches. On the quote from the Cut and Create I have placed the gold butterfly charm , I also added the music notes fussy cut from the cut and create sheet, I shaded them both with a grey ink.  Popped the Unique image from the cut and create sheet on the top corner of the photo of my Granddaughter doing her contemporary dance .
Having a daughter getting married next month I think this range would be so beautiful to document the wedding. You should pop over to the shop where there is a link to a Youtube video showcasing the range in full, it is just divine.
Thank you for calling by and until next time
Happy Creating
