Hey Stampers!

Before I begin blogging about my card creation, I want to say one special thing to my wonderful hubby.  Happy Birthday Honey Bun! Wishing you the best day ever! I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Wishing you a wonderful, Happy Birthday ever! So excited for you today because I have lot’s of surprises planned out for you today…hehehe! Not only do I {heart} surprises but I {heart} to surprise you! So much fun because you have NO clue what so ever!! I’m sooooo snicky!  So,  my stamper friends, I can’t tell you exactly what I have planned because that will just ruin the surprise, but for sure I’ll make a posting of my hubby’s surprise soon!

Ok now! Let’s chat about today’s card! Well it’s Thursday, which means another fun Thursday Challenge over at Treehouse Stamps Blog.  Today’s challenge is to create a card, craft, scrapbook page, anything that your sweet heart desires adding 2 important things…………..Flowers and Butterfly’s!

I wanted to whip out my Silhouette and create a design background to add for my flower.  So I cut up a leafy background.  I added it on top to a piece of transparency paper. Of course I had to whip out my sewing machine and add some single and zig zag stitching to my card.

So come on over at Treehouse Stamps Blog and join me along with the rest of the Design Team and add your creation to Mr. Linky! Can’t wait to see what you create!

I used Kraft Cardstock, the card measures 5 3/4 x 5.  I’ve been really, really into Kraft Cardstock lately! It’s so versatile, it simply goes with anything! You should see the scrapbook pages I made with my Kraft Cardstock.  {heart} it!

This large flower before was a plain white flower. I used my Tattered Angel mist and sprayed different colors to give it a beautiful color and shimmer to it! I {heart} that stuff!  In the middle I applied some Flower Soft to give it some fuzziness like a real flower would have. For the leaf background, I used my Silhoutte Quikutz to cut it out and layered it on top a clear transparent paper.  The easy way to adhere to clear transparent paper is to use a spray adhesive glue.

For the design paper I used Basic Grey Urban Prairie 6×6 paper pad and ribbon I used Satin/Reversible 3/8″ Stitched Edge Blue/Green.  For the stamp image “LOVE”, I used my set  called Owlentine which you can get all these products at Treehouse Stamps Store.  For the envelope, I used my Quikutz Silhouette to cut it out!

Have a good one!
