Square Birthday Ombre....

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone! Yay it's the weekend!

*** This is a Pre-Scheduled Post ***

I made another lovely Birthday card

for a co-worker...

I don't know about you guys... But, do you have a stash of stamps & dies

you haven't even used yet? But HAD to have when you saw them on

a video at let's say... Jennifer McGuire's Youtube Channel??

Raising hand very slowly to say MEEE!! I order them, I organize them

and then I eventually get around to using them! 😛

This beautiful die is no exception! It's a pretty Memory Box die called

Sensational Butterfly Collage

And I SOOOO LOVE IT!!!

I have to tell ya... I DID NOT Distress the paper either! WHAT?

Yup... I found this PRETTY Ombre Designer Paper in the

Silhouette Store! So, I HAD to print it out and it's sooo pretty

when printed out on white smooth Bazzill cardstock!

My card base is a 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 square card using (Neenah Solar White)

Then I used a Lawn Fawn stitched square die on

 my ombre digital paper and added some Fun Foam behind it

I attached the butterfly die cut on top of that and added

some glitter to my butterfly with a Sakura glitter pen

Then I sealed the glitter in with a Clear Glaze Sakura Pen

Not wanting my Butterfly to hid I used a strip of Vellum to place

across my card front and Die Cut out the "Birthday" word 4x's

in some black cardstock backed with Stick it adhesive

Layered them all together then worked on placement

I wanted the "wishes" word to stand out too, so I decided

to use Black Embossing powder on that word -

I added some lovely clear adhesive gems...

and that's my card!!!

As my vacation comes to an end

I'll be getting ready to play

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!
