Happy Birthday to you

Hello crafters.  Hope you had a lovely weekend. I had an enjoyable day of crafting today, just playing with different bits and pieces.  I ended up making a pretty card for this week's Pals Paper Arts challenge.

I had in mind a pretty background to colour in myself and this flourish stamp from Creative Elements was the perfect choice.  I used Soft Suede to stamp the image and to colour in the dots. For the rest of the colouring in I used Pink Pirouette, Pear Piazzaz and Wisteria Wonder.  To finish off and give a softer look, I sponged the edges with Pink Pirouette and matted the background on Whisper White card.

The butterfly was stamped with Versamark on Whisper White card and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  I then sponged over with the pink and green inks (emboss resist technique) and added pearls.  The flowers were topped off with punched flowers using one of the Itty Bitty punches and finished off with pearls.

Thank you for visiting and see you again soon x
