I guess I’m subconsciously stuck on the idea of butterflies on birthday cards right now. I didn’t think about it until I started writing this post, but today’s card is the second birthday card featuring butterflies I’ve sent out in the last two weeks.
I’ve had the Sizzix/Stampin’ Up Beautiful Wings die for a while now, but hadn’t used it yet, and when I spotted it on my desk early last week it started seeming like it was calling out to me… “use me… soon… please!” LOL So I finally put it to use for this card. The layout is Lizzie Anne Designs Sketch Challenge #126. I slightly folded the largest butterfly and glued just the body of it down to the card, so there’s a bit of a 3-D effect going on there. There isn’t much stamping here – only the sentiment – but I’m pleased with the final result.

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper (Stampin’ Up)
