Sorry April.....Got sidetracked!!

Hi Everyone,

I saw this frame on my shelf that I bought from IKEA ages ago with very good intentions of making something for Maddi's bedroom; well now I have.......

It is to go in Maddi's bedroom which is due to be decorated soon, here are some close ups:
I used the Tim Holtz Alterations for the concertina flowers and the other hand made flower is using the Paper Artsy Dies; all other are flowers from my stash:

I coloured Tilda with Copics, but th sky and grass I used distress inks.....the sky went very wrong and the more I coloured the worse it got :-)
The frame is blended with distress inks and I used masks to layer up swirls, butterflies, dragonflies and clouds.
I have to say overall im quite pleased with it, I dont think the pictures show it the way I see it but some of that might be rose tinted glases ;-)
Thanks for stopping by,

I would like to enter it for the following challenges:
