Birthday Card ~ A Summer's Day

I really like the effect of inking up my embossing 

folders before running them through my machine.

After coloring and fussy cutting the butterflies 

I applied them with foam tape for a little dimension.

I love the font on this sentiment and it fit 

perfectly nestled with the flowers.

To finish off I sprinkled on a few sequins.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.

*Butterflies from the Happy Place stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Sentiment from the Treasured Words stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Embossed using the inked up Large Daisy folder from Darice.
*Y11 and B32 markers from Copic.
*Sequins from Darice.
*Dandelion, Daube Blue and Bamboo Leaves stamp pads from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.
