Hi Everybody,
Birthday Cards are my most regular makes for family, friends or simply to donate to the charity shop. And I make loads of them in the course of a month.
These are just some that I have made over the past few months and all these feature apertures in them with a bright and beautiful background.
They have all been teamed with a bright gold mirror card and butterflies are used on all of them. The season of butterflies is upon us and so why not use them in your designs.
They are something I use a lot ... along with leaves, flowers, hearts and feathers ... all of which make a beautiful additions to your creations
This card has a really delicate sentiment stamped onto the front of it with my favourite Rose Flourish leaves added behind.
For this card I have used a vertical sentiment to compliment the vertical aperture.
Again I have used gold mirror card to cut the leaves and the butterfly, plus I have added them all to parchment.
Then I backed the sentiment onto a gold panel as well.
These cards are all 5x7 with the fold at the top, to create a tent fold card that will stand better on it's own.
And despite having the butterflies that are reasonable flat and will fir into standard sized envelope for posting.
This card has been created using desktop finds of the gold card and added to the design.
This sentiment is cut from a die, but the others are stamped from older Card Making Magic sets that you may have as well.
I particularly like the vertical stamps as they make a change to the way I add my greetings.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Lovely, lovely cards, Christina. I'm really having a hard time picking a favorite, but I think I'll go with the vertical sentiment because 1) it's unusual and 2) I like the really colorful background which is so spring/summery. I think I will try to make something like this over the weekend. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Christina. You have inspired me to give my butterfly dies an airing.

Love these Christina and agree that the vertical sentiment is so effective there - and I have that one. The rays under the last butterfly is stunning too. Kind regards Ethne Gloss
