Sister

I found some lovely Hunkydory 'Florabunda' toppers and card in a charity shop bundle - I've made this card for my sister's birthday.


To make this card I used:
     7" x 7" white matt card blank
     Hunkydory 'Florabunda' backing card and toppers
     Creative Expressions 'From the Heart - Female Relations' and 'Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
     Snippet of gold mirri card

I trimmed the kraft card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and attached it to the centre.  To raise the topper from the card I attached it with a foam pad, setting it to the left side of the card.  I die cut 'Sister' from both gold mirri and another Florabunda topper which was the same colouring as the main topper.  I layered the floral topper onto the gold mirri, offsetting it slightly to give a gold shadow and then attached it to the top of the card.  I die cut two small butterflies from another small Florabunda topper and attached them to the lower corner of the card.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
     Cardz 4 Galz - It's Hip to be Square
     Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Use One or More Butterflies
     Triple B Challenge - September Challenge (I have used Blooms and Butterflies)

You seem to find quite a few bits of paper craft and cross stitch kits in your local charity shops and you have made a beautiful card for your sister with this pretty floral Hunkydory set Kath, and love the kraft over the white card, and love the check and arched shaped topper, and the added die cut 'Sister' and two butterflies are really lovely finishing touches. x

I see you also made a birthday card for your sister. It's beautiful, Love that you placed the flower image to the side and not in the center. Your sister will love it.
Happy day to you!
