Just a Note....

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a great week....
Mine seems long but never mind, here comes the long bank holiday weekend!!! Yay!!
Todays card is made using Mac and Flowers from The Digistamp Boutique.
I coloured him with copics.  The hearts are a Sizzix nestie die and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch.
I'm not sure what the doily is as it was a freebie die cut from an order at Dies to die for.
