Butterfly flowers and a PTI Challenge

Seems like such a long time since I played with my PTI stash, all I seem to have done craft wise is make cards for swaps, I think its time for me to make some £d projects and cards for fun …

I really wanted to take part in the current A Passion for Papertrey Challenge which is to create something with flowers …

I’ve recently seen a gorgeous flower made with the Stampin Up butterfly punch and tissue paper, I had to have a go, so I created this, let me know what you think:

Note for Pat .... Best way to punch tissue is to punch the tissue with a layer of cardstock behind otherwise the tissue will tear.
