As I've got everything ready for Christmas, it's time to start making cards for next year and having a play with some new dies I've recently won. This card used a lovely die from The Paper Boutique which I won in the Snippets Playground.

To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white hammer card blank
The Paper Boutique 'It's Time to Celebrate', Crafts-Too 'Happy Birthday' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterflies' dies
Snippets of silver mirri and pink pearlescent card
I die cut the main die from silver mirri and used the circle die to remove the centre before attaching it to the card blank. I die cut the main die again from pink pearlescent card and inlaid the centres of the flowers and leaves. To finish, I die cut Happy Birthday and the two smaller butterflies from silver mirri and attached them to the centre of the card.
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Something Beginning with 'B' (I have chosen Birthday, Blooms & Butterflies)
Color Hues - Pink and Silver
Happy Little Stampers Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes
NBUS - Challenge 57 (I used my new Paper Boutique die)
Snippets Playground - Challenge 469

Hi Kath! It always thrills me when a Playground prize is used and proudly shown - LOVE this card. And, inlaying all those pieces must have taken some time but very worthwhile.
