GDT Card for the Forever Friends Challenge

Hi Folk!

Hope you're all ok?

Recently, the DT over at the Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog (which includes me!!!  Yay!) were invited to take part as GDTs over at the Forever Friends Challenge as Joanna is generously (she's so fab!) sponsoring their monthly challenge this time around.  The theme is that Animals and/or Birds and/or Butterflies, so a fab one for you to join in the fun with.

And, as Joanna's sponsoring the challenge I have used her fabulous Holly Pond Hill double CD to make my card.

How cute is this image???  This entire double CD is packed solid with the most beautiful artwork and each one has it's own pretty paper.  It's a brilliant value CD and a must have in anyone's collection.  

I have used 4 papers from the CD and the image.  I'm really into letting the artwork do the talking on a card so all I have added is the matting layers, the simple sentiment and two flowers cut out of the matting card (Papermania Textured cardstock).  I used the Cheery Lynn Large Rose dies for this, but just layered two up and fixed them with a gold brad.  I really don't think it needs anymore than that.

Hope you like it.  Go check out the Forever Friends Challenge if you've not been before.

Take care and happy crafting!
