Hi Girls, I hope you are having a good weekend, though I suspect like me youve had quite a bit of rain over the last 24 hours. Weve been to Didcot today to visit the Railway Museum and Exhibition, my hubby loves steam engines and I took over 80 photos (not all brilliant) and he took nearly 90 photos himself so hes been having great fun looking at them since we got back this afternoon.
Ive created a picture for this challenge as I felt that it would be nice to do something different as this rose would get a bit squashed if I tried to put it into an envelope if it was attached to a card. The rose, and the sprays of flowers were all created from paper, and built up in layers, then attached to a base sheet of card again in layers to get the spray effect, I also tied a bow and attached it to the stems. The butterflies were created from a piece of rainbow paper and stuck in random places afterwards.
I hope you like the end result, I will now be hanging the frame on the wall in my craft room. I should have said that I created this picture with the help of the Leonie Em Floral Punch craft Book, she has made a similar picture, but I think you will find that I have a lot more small white flowers than she has. I will look to find some of the photos I took when creating my roses.

Oh wow Shirley, this really is very special.
So much work and all those tiny blossoms built up to create a truly stunning piece of artwork.
Pleased you had a nice morning out, I think the rain is fairly general, but it's a UK bank holiday so we come to expect it don't we.
Thank you for sharing with us at Stampalot challenge this month.
