Birthday Balloon and Butterflies

Sooo my husband came home and said someone is coming over to pick out a Birthday card and I figured you had plenty.  Well, not really as I haven't made much since the charity baskets and then a specific birthday card. Hmmmm, 1 hour later this is what I came up with.


Th DP is Echo Park 'Hello Spring Butterfly'. Thankfully I already had this Maggie already colored in Distressed Inks.  I always have a stash of the colored images,  but this one was my last.  I love to color as it is so relaxing.


I used my Whimsy die and stamp for the sentiment and edged it in blue. The button and floral embelly was fun to put together, I wrapped the spool with yellow twine and dangled the sewing machine.
Tilda is enhanced with Memory box dies swirled around her and a tiny bit of liquid pearl.


The inside sentiment is from various Papertrey Ink stamps, I edged the writing area and attached the ribbon with scor-pal tape.


I was lucky enough to be able to snap these pictures before she came.  She loved it and it sold for $5.00.  It is hard for me to charge a lot of $$ for my cards, they bring me a lot of enjoyment to make and then I try to buy things as cheaply as possible so I felt I didn't need more than that.

Thanks for stopping by and having a peak. I really appreciate everyone's time in leaving me comments.  Your thoughts are precious.

  5. One hour!!!! You make me weep. It takes me three days to make a card and I swear Kelly, I don't think it could come anywhere near as pretty as the cards you have been making. I really like the die cuts around the image, that's a good idea. Very pretty!!!!!!

  10. Really beautiful Kelly! Love your coloring. Your friend got such a good deal!!! Hallmark's plain janes are a lot more than that -- and machine made, not made with love.
