a Friendly Birthday



Hi there.....

So I looked over a few challenges and created this card to accommodate all the requirements.

I love when I can play in more than one challenge with a single card.!!!


I die cut a mask for inking the center of my card, then stamped the flower and sentiment in a coordinating color.
Butterfly was stamped two times, then fussy cut to achieve the dimension you see here.


Added just a bit of shading inside the flower with a pencil.
Some twine and a few sequins...
DONE!
