Happy 40 Birthday

I made this card for my niece's 40th birthday. I can't believe she's 40 - where have the years gone?

I embossed the swirl frame, trimmed the edges, layered it onto dark red pearlescent card and attached it to the card.  I die cut the sentiment, 40 and butterflies from red card.  The sentiment was attached to the centre of the card and the number in the lower corner.  I attached the butterflies by the centre so I could shape the wings.



To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white pearlescent card blank
     Crafts-Too 'Happy Birthday', Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' dies
     Xcut 'Swirls' embossing folder
     Red and white pearlescent card

I am entering the following challenges:
     Allsorts - Take Flight (I have used butterflies)
     Butterfly Challenge - Spin the Butterfly Wheel with R (I have used Raspberry and, of course, butterflies)
     Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies - January Challenge
     Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - Wings

    That is one of my favourite sentiments to use but boy is it difficult to die cut. I never manage to get nice clean edges from it. Love the card you have created. Very pretty. Hugs Mrs A.

    I love the red and white so elegant and pretty, and the butterflies and large sentiment work well with the embossed background Kath. A beautiful card. x

    Love this monochrome design. I rarely use pearlescent card now but I'd forgotten how great it looks when embossed. Thanks so much for playing along at HLS CAS Challenge, Anita x
