Baby Girl is turning 30! I can't be the mother of a 30 year old! Wasn't she a little girl five years ago? I took inspiration for her birthday card from a card in this Jennifer McGuire video and this Freshly Made Sketch:
I cut a mask using the largest Hero Arts oval infinity die and used Gina K Designs' Music Medley stamp to create the background. Next I cut the butterfly layers with a Spellbinders die and the vine with a die by Paper Artist from white cardstock and used sponge daubers to color them with ink. I heat embossed the sentiments (inside and out) and the edges of the butterfly's wings and put small pieces of thin foam tape under the tips of his wings, so they would stay up to provide dimension when I glued his body the the card. I also popped up the sentiment and the front panel.
Here is the inside:
Have I mentioned that the birthday girl likes butterflies? The butterflies and sentiments are from retired Close to My Heart stamp sets.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi
