happy birthday


Hi! Hope you are having a great week so far! Today I have a birthday card to share that I made for a dear friend featuring pretty papers from the Prima Vintage Emporium collection.
The butterfly was made using a Spellbinders butterfly die set that I've had since 2010 when I was on the Spellbinders DT and probably has been retired since but in my mind, one can never have too many butterflies :) 
For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current CAS(E) this sketch sketch challenge:

and for theme inspiration, I'm joining along with the current paper players Clean and Simple: Butterflies challenge:
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

    That gentle yellow color adds to the kindly spirit of your card. Love the butterfly, and I agree - you can't have too many butterflies. )
