Summer blooms


The challenge at Penny Black and More http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/  this month is "Summer Blooms". There are some great prizes on offer this month and a great selection of  inspirational cards from the DT. Pop over to check out the rules and enter your card for a chance to win.
 I had some freebie floral paper that shouted at me to be used for this challenge. I don't usually use  freebies but the paper was so pretty I did not want to waste it  . I put together a few flowers and secured them together with a cute shaped button  which  I threaded with some bendy green covered wire. I added a scalloped frame,  stamped my PB image and coloured it with promarkers to match in with my paper. I added a butterfly to finish it off.
Simply made but bright and colourful. It reminds me of a lovely floral garden.
I have entered it into a few challenges which are listed below.
