A Birthday Card for 'Someone Special'

I have made this Birthday Card for my Daughter

and chosen the stamps specially for her.

 

 

Over at Crafty Cardmakers Pam is Hosting

our 'Birthday Card Challenge'

 

The stamp I chose is from Inspired by Stamping Here
called Nature 1. It has the Ulysses butterfly and the
 Cooktown Orchid. This butterfly if you are lucky
(and I have been) can be seen fluttering by in
my daughter's back yard. She also has the most
beautiful orchids blossoming on her patio.
Now you can see the reason why I made this card.

 

 

I have added several coloured layers

added to my card base

and the background is inked up with

several Tim Holtz distressed inks.

The Cooktown Orchids were stamped randomly

and heat embossed in white.

(My daughter lives close to Cooktown)

The Ulysses butterfly has been inked up

with TH peacock feathers with

 a smidgen of  pearl ex powder added

giving it a nice shimmer. Also

in black and covered with glossy accents.

Happy Birthday sentiment is a Spellbinder die.

Finished with a few coloured gemstones.

I have made a computer generated greeting

for the inside adding the tiny butterfly for a final touch.

 

Thanks for dropping by.
