I used Diamond Stickles on her wings. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Bo-Bunny. I used a couple of Spellbinder die cuts and a Martha Stewart Craft double edge punch for the lace doily look. The flowers are punched from the DP with a flower punch from Punch Bunch. The leaves are also by a punch from Punch Bunch. The sentiment is punched out with a Stampin Up punch. I used Lemondrop Baker's Twine from The Twinery for the flower centers and as a rope around the sentiment. The pearls are from e. by Prima.

Birthday Card

Where did spring go? It sure felt a lot like summer here today. So, I stayed in doors and made another card today. I made a birthday card with a rubber stamp by Carmen Medlin over at SCACD. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers. The CS is Worldwin Papers Caribbean colors and the DP is So Sophie by My Mind's Eye. I used a couple of Spellbinder die cuts. The sentiment is a clear stamp by Victoria Case and it is punched out with a Stampin Up punch. The swirls of pearls are from Recollections at Michaels. The ribbon is Stampin Up and the flower is cut out with a punch from Punch Bunch. I used some of the DP to make the flower.
