Tonight I want to share a birthday card I made for my daughter who is going to be turning 15, oh where has the time went. She was our surprise child and is 11 years younger than our youngest son. The boys have been on their own for quite a while so she has just been spoiled rotten, anyway on to the card. Her favorite color is purple and I really had a hard time making a card with purple, just not a color I use very often.
I cut the butterfly at 3" from the Home Accent cart, and I will let you know it is a difficult cut, make sure you use good paper, a sharp blade and slow speed.
I embossed the white cardstock with the Victoria Cuttlebug folder and added Crystal Stickles to the inside butterfly.
The sentiment on the outside is from Peachy Keen Christmas Greeting words, but I use it alot.
The inside sentiment is computer generated, I really need to get some more stamps. I also punched some smaller butterflies and added them. Still not sure on the purple but as long as she likes it that's all that matters.
Will be entering this card in the Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #46 and also
the Cooking with the Cricut Challenge -C18 Swirls and Twirls . That's it for tonight, see you tomorrow!!
