Another card for Laura's birthday tomorrow. This is the one I've made for Grandma to give her. Again Sweet Pea Stamps and this image actually has an amazing sentiment included with it which I intended to put on the front of the card, but there just wasn't enough space so it's had to go on the inner. It reads...
' May the wings of a butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulders to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches .
Today, tomorrow and beyond.'
Note yet more cast off jewelry being used. When Laura first showed me her butterfly necklace a year or so ago I must admit my eyes lit up at the sight of the 20 or so butterflies dangling down from it. She knows me so well and said at the time 'You're not having it yet!' I laughed and said it looked quite fragile and would get tangled in her hair. Naturally this comment was met with a huge scowl and I fell quite low in the 'yummy mummy' league for a while. Anyway a year later and it finally bit the dust and was relegated to the craft collection - yeah - how cool are these butterflies?
I must admit that Laura added the chain from the necklace to a scrapbook page she was working on last week so that makes me feel a little less guilty.
Additional materials:
- Promarkers of course and a touch of chalk
- Marianne circular frame die and nestie circle
- Beautiful shimmery butterfly paper by Sei
- Blue ribbon - oh the joy of ribbon sorted on to cards (see this post)
- Happy Birthday sentiment
- Gems and Spray and Sparkle (silver) to add oomph
- Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder
Challenges:
- In a Sweet Pea Dream - Anything Goes (hope it's okay to enter again)
- Sweet Pea Stampers - Recycling - the butterfly - again second entry hope that is okay.
- Passion for Promarkers - Fit for a princess (think it fits as all granddaughters are Princesses in their Grandma's eyes)
- Try it on Tuesday - Something old (the butterfly) - something new (the stamp)
- Sketch and Stamp - original sketch used was from there, but I must come clean and say I lost a couple of the elements from it. Sorry!
Well cards done and dusted now on to the gift bags. Have a great day everyone.
