A Birthday card

This card is for my dear friend, Marion.

We used to work together from 1995,

until 2008, so you could say,

we know each well!

I used a piece of mixed media paper to create my

background & started by partially stamping the

large script image from Tim Holtz Papillon.

Using acetate, I smooshed Wild Honey,

Distress Oxide onto the dry stamped image.

Dried the piece, & added Worn Lipstick,

then Shabby Shutters.

Drying between each colour prevents mud!

I die cut the Sizzix Meadow Butterfly 

& coloured using Inktense pencils. 

To highlight the die more,

I added paint as a shadow.

The final touch was flat backed gems,

in each flower centre.
