Cute birthday card



I felt like making a cute and colourful card so this is what I made. I love pinks, purples and blues. I think they work really well together. I used lots of layers and a gorgeous  swirly frame I cut out on my Cricut machine. I used one of my favourite Penny Black Black stamps that I coloured with Aqumarkers. I added some faux stitching, lace, pearls, flowers, and a butterfly I pushed twine through my buttons and tied it into tiny bows. I finished it off with a happy birthday sentiment.
I have entered this card into sooooo many challenges (listed below). Yes, I know I am a bit of a challenge freak.
