Happy Birthday

I had some paper left laying on my desk from the anniversary card I made a few days ago so decided to make a Birthday card they always come in handy . The frame .flowers,leaves and lace border as well as the lacy corner were all sitting in my stash . The only new thing I had to cut was the butterflies. So this was a pretty easy card to assemble.

Supplies:
Paper by BoBunny  Madeline collection, Bazille c/s
Dies: TH Ornate frame, TH Vintage Lace , TH Tattered Florals, SB Foliage and Bella Rose , CLD Exotic Butterflies Sm#2, CLD Lacy Corner B165, Prima Metal Leaves Die

     
I painted the butterfly with Spun Sugar DP heat embossed it with clear EP and layered it on another butterfly which was sponged with Shabby Shutters DI . I like how you see tiny cracks in the paint once it's heated .I then sponged over it with Victorian Velvet DI.                                                

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
 Allsorts Challenge #304 Feature a creature

Happy Anniversary

Just popping to share a card I made for my son and daughter in law for their anniversary in April can't believe it's 5 years already since we celebrated with them in Mexico for their special day . I ordered the Prima Metal Dies skeleton leaves and received them yesterday so just had to spend some time in my craft room to create with them . I must say they are now my favorite ! The paper is by Bo Bunny Madeline love the soft pastel colors . The frame is spellbinders which was cut in white and colored with Distress Paint Spun Sugar . The flowers were made using TH tattered florals and again I used DP Spun Sugar to match the frame . The leaves were sponged with DI shabby shutters. To finish my card I added so pearls to the flower centers and the frame and a CLD corner die in the left upper corner.
