Left over bit's & bob's

Good morning everyone,We have snow this morning & it's freezing cold
although the sun has just come out.
Can i just say nobody has offended me in any way over my butterfly colony on my last card HAHA
Hazel thought i was upset as i hadn't  posted  a card. Well hear it is made from left over bit's

I had a busy day yesterday,We went shopping,& had to go round my friend's
Her Cut N Boss arrived,but she asked if i would pop round as she couldn't get the plates to go through. So i tried with no luck. So she phoned Crafters Companion,they told her to put her hands inside to push the two buttons up & the motor started up,so they said there was nothing wrong with
the machine & you have to push plates in hard still never took the plates .Then phoned C&C & told them it wasn't working, they said to send it back so they can repair it as they had  no more stock My friend told them she wanted a full refund as wasn't going to have it repaired,& for them to collect it.
.
 Back to my card not sure why the middle went to the top but hay ho.
Started with  A5 scalloped edge card  blank layered up white pearl card,green leftover card. Had a white Cordoba already cut added the demo cut fold tuck die cuts on top of each other added green dazzler to middle a Itty Bitty bow & a small butterfly on the corner,added 3 pearl flat back pearls to left corner. The middle i stamped the sentiment cut out with the Stockholm die,cut the outer edge of same die in green glued together.added small butterfly. Job done
Thank you for popping in today your all welcome, it would be lovely if you could leave me a comment,please be honest if you like it that's great but if not that's ok too.
Please stay safe if your going out today wrap up warm,get them liberty bodices on ladies.
