Enjoy your Special day Butterfly...

Hello & Happy Friday Crafty Friends!
I've been busy with work all week
and haven't had time to post anything -
I've also purchased a couple of new things
I've been wanting - (NOT Craft related)
and have been learning how to use them -
I also have some Home Decor projects in the works
so yeah... I've been busy doing things! 😃

Last night I sat down in my craft room and
made a Lovely Birthday card for another
teacher at school - You'd think I'd have a good
stash by now... but NOPE! There is ALWAYS
someone in need of a Birthday card at school! 😃


Here's what I made!




I pulled out some Distress inks for this card - I'm using Evergreen Bough,
Cracked Pistachio, & Shaded Lilac
After coloring up the card front, I pulled out my Misti and
stamped the Beautiful Butterflies (Butterfly 1595-C) from
Victorine Originals - Then I used my Sheer Shimmer Sparkle
Spray (no surprise since it's my favorite) - Then added some
water drops and lifted it off with a towel.
 I used my Heat tool to dry it - 
I then put it through my Big Shot using 
the Stitched Rectangle Die from My Favorite Things
I think it adds such a nice border around the card front....

After that was complete I found a great (Celebrate) word die
from My Creative Time (Cutting it out 3x's) for dimension
Then used the "Enjoy your Special Day" sentiment from
My Favorite Things (Birthday Greetings set) and Heat
embossed it with WOW! Ebony embossing powder on
a strip of vellum - Wrapped it around my card front
and added a piece of Fun Foam to the backside
to POP up my card front on the Purple Card base

I decided to add some Clear Wink of Stella to the "Celebrate"
word die just to tie in with the rest of the sparkle on my card!
And Added some Rainbow Sparkle Jewels & Ice Cube
Jewels from Lucy's Cards with some glossy accents

I really like how pretty the colors blended together and the
butterflies are just lovely - I'm sure the Teacher receiving this
will think the same thing... 😉
