After cutting out the oval shape I cut the large piece to fit the front of a 7" x 5" card.
On the card base I sponged again so that it would show through the cut out frame and then positioned the larger piece over it with foam pads.
The oval frame was then placed inside with thinner 3d foam pads - this meant that the oval frame sat just beneath the cut out piece but wasn't flat!
The trusty Honey blossom die cuts ( love this flower stem to bits!) were layered a few times at the side and I kept the little branch and leaf offcuts to one side.
Sentiment stamped in Victorian Velvet and cut out with another fancy tag die.
The offcut leaf and branches were then just stuck underneath and the card was finished with a couple of die cut butterflies.

Hi Viv, this is just stunning! So delicate and very pretty - a lorra die cutting there too :)
I spotted a half done link on Mr Linky and thought you might be having problems linking a card so I deleted it as he gets in a tizz at times. So glad you managed to link this.
Ha, so you've been in the sunshine huh? Hope you had a marvellous time - welcome back!
