Hi Everyone! I hope you are all doing well today. I have a fun birthday card to share with you today. I saw this idea somewhere a long time ago, but honestly have no idea where!
The card base is A2 size (4.25" x 5.5"). I used kraft cardstock for the base and for a mat on the front.
The sentiment is a bit of a mess, as you can see above! It's a stamp from the dollar bin at Michaels and didn't come out so well.
I cut the butterfly from Indie Art at 1.5". I added glossy accents to the antanae and the body of the flutterby. I then glue 3 together and folded the wings to make it stand out.
This part of the card was a little more tricky. I cut the floral paper to 6" x 2.75". After many failed attempts, I ended up scoring the paper at 1", 1.25", 2". 2.25", 3", 3.25" and so on. The "ruffle" isn't perfect, but I love the effect! I am going to try this again someday....
That's all for today, folks!
Blessings,
Cheryl
