Birthday Butterfly


Wow! I finally got to make a card again. I have been so busy lately that I'm having a hard time finding time to craft. My son is getting married in two weeks, we are doing some improvements to our rent house, so our new renter can move in May 1, and I have been down to my Mom's last week to take her to the doctor. But, I'm making time today. Tomorrow is already taken by my son and his fiance.

On to my card. This is a card for my Mom's birthday. She will be 90. And she still lives alone and is in good health for her age. I love butterflies. They are so dainty and fragile looking, but so beautiful.

Recipe:
Cardstock - CS is Bazzill and DP is K and Company. The oval white piece is from my stash.
Die Cuts - Butterfly is Marianne Designs, Beaded Oval and Oval is Spellbinders
Punches - Both the Scallop Edge and Decorative Label Punches are Stampin Up
Embossing Folder - Wings by Craft Concepts
Sentiment - Stampin Up's Well Scripted set and it is inked in Stampin Up Orchid Opulence
Ribbon and Gems - Recollections from Michael's

I plan to enter this card in these challenges:

Crafty Ribbons Challenge - #17 - Things with Wings

Delicious Doodles Challenge - #17 - Loads of Layers

Paper Pretties Challenge - PPMC35 - Embossing Dry or Wet
