Happy Birthday Card

Well, I'm the first to admit that I am not that much of a card maker.  I always see so many beautiful cards on blogs, but my preference is layouts.  Saturday is World Card Making Day, and Aphra over at The Paper Poppy Kit Co.  has a challenge to make a card using at least one item from her September Summer Daze kit.  Well my mom has a birthday in November, and since Aphra is offering such a great prize for the winning card, I thought I would break out of my comfort zone and make my mom a card.

 Everything on this card came from the Summer Daze kit with the exception of the pearl and the November calendar page.

The kit came with two chipboard flowers, which I traced onto the pattern paper.  The larger flower I adhered to the chipboard.  The smaller one I chose to curl the edges.  I added some blue ink around the edges. The center of the flower is cut from a piece of the Sassafras Lass Indie Girl paper from the kit.

I popped up some of the Sassafras Lass leaf border and added a ruffle out of pink crepe paper. I  punched the butterflies out using a Martha Stewart punch.  All in all, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!  I think in the future, I will take a better look at the left over scraps of have and try my hand at making another card.
I also wanted to let you know that Frosted Designs is looking to add more members to their design team.  Click here for more information.
