Recipe for the card below.
I started with a French patterned paper from MME Lost and Found and cut the center circle out from Paper Trimmings at 4.2 inches. I backed this piece with white cardstock. Next I cut the vines for around the center from Create a Critter at .875. The Birthday Blessings was "cut" onto the white cardstock backing using my Cricut Gel pens and George and Basic Shape at 1.5 inches. I hand colored the inside of the letters. I love the glittered look of this. The butterfly was hand made using a template from Simply Sweet @ 2.1 inches. I hand colored this and added wire antennae. He is foam dotted from the page. The little flowers placed here and there were fussy cut from a 6x6 MME pad called Indie Chic - Saffron. Some were pop dotted from the page. All had pink highlighting added by marker. The green leaves were hand cut and inked and I added seam binding colored with TH Distress ink and burlap twine. I topped this with a coordinating Recollections brad.
Inside, I embossed a piece of white cardstock with Cane Back Chair and hand made the little Angel pin and the pin holder. She is referenced in the birthday wishes I eventually put on the other side of the card.
This was one of my more labor intensive cards, but I really like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by!
