Birthday Butterflies

Today I am going to share with you another Birthday card – I am still trying to build a stock of birthday cards, for those almost forgotten birthdays, but as soon as I have made them they seem to go out the door! I am sure I will get caught up soon ...

Anyway this card went to a lovely friend whose birthday was at the end of last month. I used some of the babywipe technique butterflies I had left over from this project, added some shimmer with the Champaign Mist Shimmer Paint, and then let them fly across this card! The base of the card is Regal Rose and the Patterned Papers are from the Wonderful Sweet Pea Pack. If you have not got your hands on this pack yet I suggest you do as soon as possible – so many papers, so many looks and such great value – check out the link to the mini catalogue on the right of my blog for all the details.

In my previous house I had a lovely Buddleia Bush which is also known as the Butterfly Bush and at this time of year I used to love watching all the butterflies dancing around it. I wonder if I can persuade my OH that we need one here ...

Happy Stampin’

  2. Oh you MUST get a buddleia, they are just so gorgeous! The other thing that I found butterflies really like is Verbena Bonariensis and that's really pretty too.

    Beautiful card, by the way. Should have said that first...

    Hugs,
