Butterfly Birthday

Recently, I needed a card for a dear scrapping friend who had an upcoming birthday.  I decided to dig into my Tim Holtz supplies, and here is what I made.


Everything used here is from Tim Holtz except the gold beads and seam binding.  The butterfly is a stamp and die set and was colored in an assortment of Distress Inks.  The base is Distress cardstock with a layer of pattern paper from the Wallflower collection.  The stitched oval was cut from the same Distress cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped with Distress Ink and adhered with foam squares as was the butterfly.  With St. Patrick's Day this week, I thought it was a good time to share this card since it is predominately green!

Winter seems to have finally arrived this weekend with a bit of snow on Friday, very cold temperatures, and perhaps a major snowstorm come Monday night.  What a mixed-up season this year!  Thank you so much for stopping by.  I appreciate your kind comments.  Have a wonderful week!

  6. Fabulous card Patty! So different from your frilly tags, but just as beautiful! The background paper is lovely and I adore the green ribbon and sentiment! The butterfly is gorgeous focal piece, love it!!!

    To answer your question about how I photograph the birds eating out of my hand. I don't use a tripod or a timer, I just hold the camera with my right hand as steady as I can and hope for a clear shot. lol. Happy Monday my friend :)
