The colours of her dining room are ivory, duck egg and fushia, which I incorporated into the design. One item that she gave me to use is a fushia floral keyring.
I saw the Gerbera flower in BHS and it feels like a real one. After dismantling it, I used just the head and placed the flower part of the keyring in the centre with a hovering butterfly. The keyring flower has a circle of hearts which I also used in the design.
I printed the central heart onto pearlised ivory cardstock with a quote and used ribbon to wrap around it.
I made each butterfly by hand and I used the template that is a freebie on Dan99's blog - http://dan99.blogspot.com/2008/11/butterfly-project-freebie.html Thanks Dan.
The canvas is now hanging on her wall and looking very chic. There isn't another one like it in the whole wide world!
Happy crafting.

How lovely and so personal. I have a few canvases but haven't even started one yet LOL. You've given me a push in the right direction.
This is beautiful, love the colour Scheme.
Bet it does have place of pride in her dining room, what a lovely focal point.
Well done
