The lovely inspiration photo...
Hi Friends!
This is my second post for the day. It has been awhile
since I've entered a challenge for Inspired by Stamping.
They have wonderful stamps and an amazing design team!
Stop on over and get inspired by their lovely projects!
There are a couple birthdays in January to make cards
for, so I thought I'd get an early start. The card is pretty
self-explanatory. I embossed the background paper
and butterflies for interest. The focal point was
stamped along with the sentiment. I used MFT dies
for the scalloped border and flourish. The tiny blue
birds on the flourish are from a Martha Stewart
punch. Tiny gems were added for their eyes.
Prima flowers and ribbon were added to finish
off the birthday card.
Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you are
having a great day! Take care, hugs!
