Happy Birthday

Don't you just love it when a picture of a card in your head comes together perfectly in reality, without a hitch? Well that's exactly what happened with the card in this post!

Happy Birthday


I knew I wanted to use kraft to go for this week's CAS-Tastic Wednesday Challenge and somehow unconsciously I made it similar to the sketch for this week from Card Positioning Systems. I'm too late for the CAS-tastic challenge, unfortunately. Inspiration didn't hit until yesterday afternoon.

I adhered the ribbon by running my tape running along the length of it on a scrap piece of paper and tucked the edges behind the white layer. The antennae of the butterfly was drawn on the white layer with pencil first and then with my black Artline pen. I popped the butterfly up with foam tape to give it some dimension.

Size of card: 4" square

Supplies:
Card/paper - 300gsm recycled brown card, Quill white cardstock
Stamp - "Winged Friends" DigiKit by Hero Arts, Hero Arts "Classic Sentiments"
Ink - Printer, Versacolor "Pinecone"

Tools - Fiskars paper trimmer, Helmar tape runner, Cre8tive spring scissors, Black Artline pen
