Happy Birthday!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

I hope your all having a great week! How about this weather?? I am just loving the sun shining and the warm weather. Our snow is almost gone....yippy! I like winter but so ready for spring/summer.

I have a birthday card that I would like to share with you today. This is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/4 card and the base layer at 5 1/4 x 5 which I have distressed with Tim Holtz distressed ink-walnut stain. I have used two larger of the Spellbinders Nestabilities die-lattice rectangles for the 2 frames which I again have distressed. The smaller frame that is cut out of kraft paper is also embossed with the sizzix flower folder.

 

The flower is cut at 2" from the Flower Shoppe cartridge, distressed and sprayed with perfect pearl mist and heat dried for a shimmery effect. I added a little banner from the Spellbinders-shapeabilites die-ribbon banners along with a sentiment-Happy Birthday from My Pink Stampers Family & Friends set. I also trimmed it out with kraft paper to give it another layer and more dimension.  I added a butterfly that I is from the butterfly layering punch-EK Success which I added a little bling and distressed the edges. I then sprayed the whole card with a light layer of perfect pearl mist. It is really hard to see in the picture but I really like the look of it. For my final touch, I added a big satin brown bow:)

I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday challenge-use kraft paper
2.) Birthday Sundaes ~Use color green and birthday sentiment
3.) Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge ~Color challenge-green, white and one other color

Thanks for visiting,
