Kanban Birthday

 

Another card using Kanban products.  This is such gorgeous cardstock!!

One problem I have with cardstock like this, is that I hate to cut into it!  Another problem is that I hate to cover it up:)  This started as a full 12 x 12 sheet.  It's double-sided and also comes with some extra "stripes."  (They are not really stripes, but the designs are in rows.  You can see a picture of what I'm talking about here.)  This card is done with parts of the 12 x 12 - I didn't cut into the "extra."  The thin sparkly pieces at the top and bottom are strips that I cut.  The rest of the background is as it comes.  The sentiment panel is from the backside.  There is a design on the back, but I just used a relatively plain part.  The border on the top of the sentiment panel was cut from the 12 x 12, also.  The sentiment is from a Kanban stamp set and the butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  I added pearls to the butterfly bodies and also to the flower centers.  I wish I could convey the beauty of this paper through pictures, but I can't.
