Priceless Birthday!

Today I made a fun birthday card using the "Priceless" set and the new decorative papers. I'm still trying to use up the ones from the 6 x 6 pack. I REALLY like the Purely Pomegranate, it's such a fun color to work with and adding it with the Ruby Red brings it up a whole level more!!!

I stamped the butterflies and then cut them out. I also stamped the butterfly on the white square because I wanted the antennas to show. I did cut them off on the ones I cut out. It was too difficult to cut them out along with the butterfly. Doing it this way gives it a little more dimension too.

The "Happy Birthday" words came from the retired "Birthday Best" set. I wanted a small "Happy Birthday" that would fit in the ovals. I didn't want to do any lining up of anything, I just wanted both words together on one stamp and it had to fit inside the small oval punch.



On the background I used the pretty swirly stamp in the set and I used the same color ink as the card stock. Versa Mark just didn't bring out enough color for me.

I added some layers to the card and put it all together. Before I put the butterflies on I took a scissors and curled the wings, much like you do for curling ribbon but do it a little slower. I set them in place using some foam tape but only in the middle of the butterfly.
Thank you for stopping by!
