Created this card using Tim Holtz Rays Layering Stencil as my background. Used TH Distress Ink to stamp the background onto the one layer base card. Stamped Paper Smooches scene: tree, fence, bird & sentiment. Added stickles & Enamel accents. Used washi tape on index card which has been a fun thing for me to do and punched out the butterfly. Popped the butterfly up with foam adhesive. Distressed the bottom edge of the card with TH paper distresser.

Photographed in my back yard where my BlueBonnet flowers are greening up and will bloom in the Spring. I started with 3 BlueBonnet plants from Home Depot 5+ yrs ago and they have rebloomed every yr since. The seeds germinate themselves when the pods burst. I also burst the pods and collect the seeds to replant. Have given Ziploc bags of seeds to neighbors & friends to plant. City of Plano use to have BlueBonnets planted in the medians in several locations but now there are only a few areas here where they have rebloomed. I have been SE to see the fields of BlueBonnets and they are bee-utiful.
