Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Whimsical Wings and Soaring Hearts

Hello and welcome to this month's hop with the theme

Whimsical Wings and Soaring Hearts

I'm going to go straight to it and present my card...

I used the Bee Mine Designed Series Paper that is from the current Mini Catalogue and went a bit grungy on it with the Pecan Pie ink - which is awesome for that vintage look.

The heart was created with triangles from the Patchwork Pieces Dies set 161592 and the Flowers and leaves from the Paper Florist Dies set 161284. The lovely butterfly wings are already precut and in the Paper Butterfly Accents 162612

To view how I made it watch this.
