It's Your Birthday~

Layout inspired by my dear friend, Cindy Lyles, who in turn was inspired by a blog I discovered not too long ago.

A few card tidbits:

• Edges of patterned paper are inked with a dauber using Memento Toffee Crunch ink.
• Butterfly was stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle onto patterned paper and trimmed, edges inked with Toffee Crunch.
• Right edge of card base is roughed up with a distressing tool.
• Banner strip is from one of the designs in the patterned paper family and punched with a square punch before stapling to the card.
• Sentiment is stamped repeatedly and then trimmed down to fit.
• Sentiment strip and butterfly panel are popped up with dimensional foam.

 Finished card is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"
