Happy Birthday

 


Today's card was created for both the Color ThrowdownFreshly Made Sketches, and Flower card challenges. I started by layering some butter yellow cardstock from my stash onto my white A2 cardbase. I then die cut a smaller panel using white cardstock and embossed it using a Spellbinders plaid embossing folder. I matted that panel with some black cardstock from my stash and adhered that to my card base. I stamped the floral image, butterfly, and sentiment from Simon Say's Stamps Butterfly Blossoms, colored them using the coordinating stencils and inks from Altenew, and then die cut them out using the dies. I popped the sentiment, butterfly, and image up with thin foam tape and arranged it onto my card following the sketch. I finished the card off with some diamond confetti from Pink & Main scattered around the card and some Nuvo Glitter Drops in white blizzard on the florals and butterfly from some additional sparkle and shine. Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
