Happy Birthday Mum

I made this card for Steve's mother using a lovely Uniko stamp and die set.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 7" white matt card blank
     Papercraft Society Uniko 'Floral Butterfly' stamp and coordinating die
     Clearly Besotted 'Happy Birthday All' stamps
     My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' die
     Versafine Imperial Purple and Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - G02, RV02, V04, Y08, Y35, YG03, YG23, YR62
     Wild Rose Studio 'Butterfly Garden' paper
     Green textured card and white matt card
     Wink of Stella

I layered the paper onto green textured card and attached it to the front of the card blank.  I used purple ink to stamp the butterfly and sentiment, but as the ink was too bright I overstamped it with brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I die cut the butterfly with the coordinating die and coloured it with Copics to highlight the colours in the backing paper.  The sentiment was cut with a fishtail flag die which I shortened so it was the right size for the sentiment.  This was layered onto green textured card and trimmed before being attached to the lower edge of the card.   I attached the butterfly along the centre of its body and highlighted it with a Wink of Stella.
