Bear with Butterflies

Hi Crafters

Today I have a little bear with net to catch butterflies.

This die cut is from Lili of Valley, I've made this card for a lovely lady's birthday in November.
Apology for dark image, seem to go darker after adding to the blog post.

Used deep pink ribbon, back to basics paper pack, pink background with white stars, Happy Birthday sentiment from Craftwork Cards, using foam pads and double sided tape to make it on an angle on the card, finished off with pink ribbon with Butterfly Charm.
