Big Birthday Wishes

 Hello there!

I am back from my trip home to Illinois and

have a card to share. I made this right before

I left but didn't have time to blog about

it until now.

This is about as CAS as I get. I love layers too much on my cards. LOL!

The butterflies were die cut out of white cardstock then color blended.

Since the die debossed the bigger areas, I had the idea to very carefully

swipe my black ink pad over the pieces. I did get some ink on some

of the colorful areas but decided that I liked the grungy look. I used

a white Gelly Roll pen to color in the white spots.

I used a linen background stamp for the main panel before adhering

the butterflies and die cut stamped sentiment.

Another sentiment finishes the inside.

I have just enough time to enter this at Seize the Birthday #320.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!
