Rainbow Butterfly Birthday Card - Karen McKibbon

 Hi everyone,  I've got a fairly simple card to share today.  

 

Paper Rose Studio Supplies: Eucalyptus Gum Leaf 6x6" Stencil 22585, Rainbow Garden Florals Embossed Die Cuts 31563, Rainbow Garden Butterflies Embossed Die Cuts 31476, Happy Birthday A5 10pc Sentiment Sheets 30720 - Foil, Austin Circle Frame Metal Cutting Die 30225.

You can see I've still been enjoying those Rainbow Garden embellishments!  

I started this card by placing the Eucalyptus Gum Leaf stencil onto my card front.  I used Catherine Pooler inks in Hot Tub through the stencil over the leaves and Cranberry Fizz for the berries ( I think I used a little artistic licence on the colour of those berries - my apologies to all the Aussies!).  Once the ink was dry, I applied a layer of Distress Grit Paste in Snowfall and set the card front aside to dry.

I cut the Austin Circle from white cardstock, and just used the outer ring.  I place a piece of vellum in behind the center of the circle, and adhered it to the outer ring. 

Once the card front was dry, I attached it to my 5 1/2" square card base.  Then I adhered the vellum circle in the center.  I attached the little bouquet of flowers and the butterfly with glue.  I trimmed the sentiment down and cut the right hand end in a banner style, before attaching it to the circle.  Finally, I rounded the right hand corners of my card to soften it a little. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I've given you a little inspiration today!
