Graphic 45 Botanical Tea card

If you know me very well, you know that I don't "do" cards, however, I decided that 2014 would be my year of THE CARD!  Meaning that I was going to make cards and get comfortable with doing so.  So over the last several days I have made 3 cards and I am finally getting the hang of it and finding it to be a pleasant experience.

I used Graphic 45's Botanical Tea 8 x 8 collection pad for this.  I find the smaller size works easier for me in making cards and tags.  Even then, this is a large card at 6.5" square.

I fussy cut some of the flowers from the collection to layer underneath my Petaloo flowers.  I also fussy cut a couple of the butterflies.

I like to pop up my layers on my cards and tags and you can see that effect in this photo.
