Butterfly Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post of a card I made for my dear friend's birthday:


I created a background by heat embossing faded text stamp with white embossing powder. Then I applied Dusty Concord DI, heavily to the edges and lightly to the centers of the papers.


I used Tim Holtz butterfly stamp and die to cut out 3 butterflies and layer them for extra dimension...


I kept the card simple and only added a little bit of Baby's Breath and white ribbon...wanted to keep a focus on the text background and butterfly.

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by...

  14. Samra, this is just too beautiful for words. Firstly I adore the softness of the colour palette. The embossing gives the whole project an ethereal quality and the exquisite butterfly adds luxurious dimension. An absolutely gorgeous make.
    Good to have you joining us at Creative Artistes Mixed Media Challenge this month.
