Hello!
It's been blowing a hoolie out there all day today, and we've had a couple of squally showers. I know the forecast for some areas is pretty awful, so I hope you all stay safe.

Info
White card blank
Die-cut hexagons cut from 5 of the designs in the Seaside Chic and Ice Cream Social digital paper sets from Raspberry Road via Etsy. I used 2 hexagons from each of my chosen papers to create a bit of a random background
The 4 poppies (3 fully open plus 1 just opening😉) were cut from red and green card scraps, with a bit of added inking. The die set is by Joanna Sheen
The word is also die cut, I think its a Sue Wilson die, but not absolutely sure
the 2 butterflies were die cut using the smallest in a Memory Box butterfly Trio using scraps of the same patterned papers
To finish I added 3 turquoise pearl gems behind the pink butterfly
