Very Special Birthday Card

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY RUSTY PICKLES DT POST

This is the card I have sent to my best crafting buddy Dawn AKA Craftykitten, I couldn't wish for a better more supportive friend. Please check out her blog and give her some love too. Anyway it is her birthday today and I thought Iwould try something different. I found this new challenge blog for Magnolia stamps - Magnolia-licious Highlights where they are asking you to make a frame card. The instructions can be found here on a great blog called Pretty Pressings. As Dawn knows I have grown to love Magnolia stamps since I started blogging in July last year, and I have chosen this great Tilda as a Butterfly image I won in a candy.

I have used our favourite colour, purple, and my favourite colouring medium - watercolour pencils. Plus of course some gorgeous purple glitter for the wings. The other embellishments are flowers made from a couple of my punches and topped with gems or a brad, plus a little butterfly gem. The background paper is from Joanna Sheens Messy Rabbit and can be found here (it's on offer at the moment too - free P & P). The sentiment was from a kit I bought recently from Create and Craft.

The back of the frame also needed to be tidied up a bit so I added my favourite Rusty Pickles image transformed into a flower!! you can find it here.

I'm sure Dawn won't mind if I enter this card into a few other challenges!!!

They are:-

Sew Many Challenges - Anything goes,

Paper Makeup Stamps - Birthday,

Crafty Catz - Birthday and

Easy Craft Projects - Lavender.

I hope you liked your card mate - I loved making it especially for you.
