Today is Day 3 of the ABC Toys & Crafts Design Team Challenge, which is to create a birthday card. Pretty simple, right?! Right!! I can never have enough birthday cards on hand, so I was glad for the challenge to get a fire lit under my you-know-what to get some done. This one came together pretty easily. I recently received my order of Quite Contrary DP by My Mind's Eye - how freakin' delicious is this stuff?!! There are a couple of different lines and I'm loving every single sheet of it. I used my Labels 8 Nestabilities to cut out the main image panel. The butterfly image is from a new Hero Arts clear set called Antique Engravings - lots of amazingly beautiful butterfly images in this set!! Will definitely be using this again. Of course, I had to add some glitter and bling - doesn't every butterfly have glittery wings? In my world they do! The sentiment is from another Hero Arts clear set called Birthday Messages.
We'd love for you to play along with our little challenge. All you have to do is create a birthday card and link it up on (click here====>Mr. Linky<====click here) by Saturday, February 27th at 12:00 p.m., CST.
