Flower Garden Inspiration | Butterfly Gardens Card with Mayline
Hi friends! This is Mayline, thank you for joining me today. This is my last post with projects I made using dies from the Flower Garden collection by Sharyn Sowell.

Because these dies are so intricately designed, they go together very quickly, with the dies themselves doing most of the work so you don’t need to spend a…
