Birthday Butterflies

My neighbor turned fifteen yesterday, and this is the card  made for her.  I tried several things, but ran out of time and ended up with this.

The butterflies are punched out of vellum with a Martha Stewart punch.  I ran them through my Xyron and covered them with glitter.  They have pearl bodies and are mounted on Pop Dot pieces.  The border is also a Martha Stewart punch.  I put a thin strip of green under the leaves.  The flower centers are pearls which I colored with a yellow Sharpie marker.  I scored a couple lines with my Scor-Pal and sponged the edges with Stampin' Up!'s Bliss Blue.  The sentiment is from SU!'s Sincere Salutations, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed with Kaleidoscope embossing powder.

Edited to add:  This qualifies for "Flutter-By Wednesday," too.  The challenge this week is to use a butterfly, angel or fairy on your card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
