Dutchdare Card Challenge 25

This week's Dutch Dare challenge is to have hole somewhere on your card. It took me a while to come up with this card, but I am really pleased with theoutcome ... and it reminds me of Summer, not Christmas cards!!

I used Penny Black's Lily Skiing and stamped it twice. I water coloured both and then decoupaged the lily and the butterfly to add a bit of depth. I cut the circle out using my nesties and put the butterfly on the inside of the card. I used silver wire to replace the string on the stamp and coiled the end a little.
The papers are K and Co and the flowers Prima. I used clear gems from my stash, and copied the corner pattern on the inside of the card. The organza ribbon is from my stash, and the sentiment a Penny Black.
Here is another view of the card.

I hope you like it and it has given you the inspiration to have a go at this week's challenge.
