Romance Card

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the 2 Sisters Challenge ( Feb. 23, 2013).  with  the theme of  'Romance'. I could only come up with a flower card but I hope it can be viewed as romantic.  I used a Doodle Pantry  digital stamp set  called ' Trumpet Vine'!  Totally lovely! This is a older image from  Doodle Pantry but a gorgeous one.  The Butterfly is a die cut as are the leaves under the flower. The flower is a gift I received from a fellow crafter who sent them to me as RAK ( Thanks Di). I had mentioned on one person's blog I envied her  all her flowers and this kind wonderful lady read the comment and sent me a whole pile of them. Isn't that just the nicest thing. I was totally blown away   and I fully plan to pass this RAK along, not sure what it will be but I will do it.
