Celebrate Your Day

Hello my friends. A quickie-post from me today. I made a birthday card in the wee hours of last night for my godmother. It's her birthday today and we're taking her out for a special dinner at a swanky place. I started out with CAS in mind but then...oh well, old bad habits die hard and I got a little carried away.

Here's the card I'll be giving my dear Tia Tita:

For the card base I use pearlescent cream CS. I modified the sketch a little by using score line and stitching to emulate the layers in the sketch. I was going for a CAS look- The papers are from Basic Grey's "Indian Summer" 6x6 pad. 

I popped the central panel on some foam tape, applied 4 large pearls at the corners and tied a bow with some salmon sheer ribbon.

The greeting is from Clearly Besotted's It's Your Birthday set, stamped with Memento Elderberry. The butterfly are from the Butterfly Wishes Additions set, heat embossed in white and cut with the coordinating dies. In the middle of each butterfly I adhered a light grey pearl.

Here's another greeting from the It's Your Birthday set, also stamped with Memento Elderberry.

That's all from me today. Must dash - nowhere exciting, unfortunately. Got to wrestle with some laundry and then put myself through some medieval torture... on the ironing board. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend. I'll see you tomorrow!

Beijinhos!
