Birthday Butterfly

I was determined to take part in another challenge, today. What I love about joining these is that they challenge me, make me think outside my boring box, lol. Prime example of that is yesterday's post. Still not completely happy with it, but kinda like it in a "weird, funky, not really me but it's totally different" way. You know, the kind where you say, "do I really want to show people this?"

I followed this sketch from Clean & Simple (FTL123):






Would you like to see what I came up with? Ok. :)













The sentiment is from a retired set called "It's Your Birthday"...one that is often my go-to Birthday set! However, I am sooo excited to get the new birthday set in the mini catalog...next week, I'm putting my order in! :)

I ended up using a combo of old and current products on this card, and I just love it!  Reminds me of a little girl's birthday card (even though it could work for any age).

Old: So Saffron gg ribbon, It's Your Birthday
Current: Circle, Scallop Circle, and Butterfly punches, Punch Potpourri stamp set (Hostess), Pawsitively Prints DSP, Basic Pearl jewels, Poppy Parade ink

Well, what do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a GREAT day! :)

    What a fun clean sketch. I also love that retired birthday set, use it all the time. SU just sent me the new Birthday set from the mini. I was part of a focus group and that was my pick. Love SU!

    Very nice job with the sketch. Just the right touch of color with the white.
