Hello again everyone.
I'm back with my second card of the day. Please scroll down if you would like to see my Pink Gem DT card.
  So this time I am sharing my DT card using gorgeous goodies from  Dies to Die for.

The gorgeous stamp is by Stamping Bella, the lovely friendship sentiment is included. As this is a nice big stamp I made a centre stepper card using some pretty papers from My Minds Eye. The beautiful Spring Border is from Memory Box and the butterflies are by Impression Obsession.

Sorry about the rubbish photos, I blame the bad weather!
