Happy Birthday

Hi everyone. It's Wednesday and that means I'm hosting a new challenge at Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps.    Come on and try the challenges.  I think you'll find them fun and challenging plus there is a chance to win some awesome stamps from Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps.

This week's Simple Salutations Challenge #71 is to create a feminine birthday card.    I love this Butterfly stamp - it's great for creating backgrounds. 

I created the background using an assortment of inks from Tim Holtz, then running my paper through the inks.  Then I stamped the butterflies on top.  Love how the patches of color created in the background show through the butterflies.

 

I fussy cut around the top of the butterflies, matted with yellow cardstock, then added to a pink frame before adding to the card front.  I left the top open so I could insert a tag inside.

 

 

 

I also inked the edges of the tag then added my sentiment in the center.

Thanks for stopping by today.
