Alva Roses at Dies to Die for

Eeek I must have been more tired than I thought last night, because I scheduled my Dies to Die for post on this card and completely forgot to schedule my own.....so this is a 'little' later than it should have been lol

Oh well, better late than never.

I had a play with one of the new range from Bildmalarna 'Alva'  . These are a bit like grown up versions of the Mimosa stamps I think, anyway they are all gorgeous (Tracy has the full range in stock) and I found it VERY hard to choose just one.  But in the end I settled for this one, Alva Roses.

Isn't she gorgeous?  Links to products are listed at the bottom of my post and will take you straight to the item in the store.

I used some fab papers from Inkidoo, the good news is that they're on sale!

A side view of those wonderful butterflies, love those dies.

I didn't put too many embellishments on my card, because the butterfly dies are so stunning they don't need much else, just a few pearls to highlight, a strip of pink lace and some smaller flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I cut the border into pieces so that I could place it around my frame, I love that it's so versatile that you don't have to use it just as a border, though it does make a very pretty one.

Well that's it for me today, hope you like it. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday  and I'll see you again on Thursday for my Marvelous Magnolia post...I'll remember to schedule that one...honest!!  : ) xx
