Artistic Birthday Card

-------------------------------------------------------------

This card was made with several different techniques.

First, I embossed the white card with a swirled textured background.

Then used the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies-Mix Media die cut the body form and stamped with doily in red to accent her dress along with the scrabble-like tile spelling out play at the top using green card stock bought in a variety pack at Joann's Fabrics.

Using the Circle Maker from Creative Memories I then punched three L circles; three XL circles, two M circles and three small circles.  Two of the L and XL circles'  center were punched out with Anna Griffin Decorative Punch Flourish the others were  stamped with words in green ink.

Butterflies in five sizes were die cut from Beautiful Wings Embosslits die from Stampin Up! using two-sided Christmas Paper, also from Stampin Up!  They were attached only in the center so that the butterflies could appear to be coming off of the page.

To create a more movement at the bottom of the card, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch from  Stampin Up! right above the Happy Birthday stamp in red.



Be blessed!
