Happy Birthday...


Well today is Lesley's birthday and this is the card I made for her...

 

I stamped the background with the swirl stamp from my baroque motif Stampin' Up! stamp set using perfect plum ink onto an 8x8 inch pearlescent card blank. Using two strips of perfect plum designer series papers I punched one edge with a scallop border punch, then scored between each scallop and folded concertina style and then joined the ends together, using a hot glue gun I fixed the rosette onto a circle of scrap card and then mounted this onto my stamped base card. I cut a circle of whisper white and stuck this over the centre of the rosette. I cut two butterflies using my gorgeous new nesty set, one in perfect plum and the other in vellum and layered these on top of the rosette and added plum pearls down the body and randomly around the swirls on the base and there you have it.

What do you think...? I was rather pleased with the over all effect and I'm sure I will make a similar one in the future.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Lesley I hope you had a lovely day.

Thank you for visiting, until next time happy crafting Dawn x
