Many Thanks Flutterby card...

Hello me lovelies

I am back this morning with another card using a Clearly Besotted product, this time i am only using a die called 'Butterfly wishes' which you can find here

I had some scraps of Dp's left over from some cards i had made recently but didn't really want to put them in the bin so i stored them i a tub.
Earlier i remembered that Juls had been trying to get her scrap pile down using them in many different ways so i thought i'd try and do the same and this is where my card idea came from...it's all made up of scraps of card and Dp's i have stored in that tub {one of many} lol

Its clean, it's simple and with a burst of colour...to be honest i am quite pleased how it turned out, righto me lovelies i wont waffle on any more about this card i will get on with showing you so without further ado, here's my card...hope you likey *smiles*
