DD #43 & Seize the Birthday #9



Sharing a card for Dynamics Duos and Seize the Birthday.  I don't know if the time change affected you but I have been dragging and losing track of time all day today.  I finally kicked it gear to get a card done for this week's amazing colours and this week's sketch from Seize the Birthday.





Wishing spring to get here soon I pulled out an older Cuttlebug embossing folder, used my stitched mats again (you are going to be seeing a lot of these) and my favourite butterfly from Papertrey's Pretty Peonies. I am also submitting this card to the Simon Says Stamps A Bit O'Green challenge. 




All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

Cardstock:  White, Simply Chartreuse, Aqua Mist
Stamps: Pretty Peonies, Everyday Button Bits
Ink:  Aqua Mist, True Black
Dies: Pretty Peonies (PTI) Stitched Mats (Lil' Inkers)
Embossing Folder: Bird and Vines (Cuttlebug)
other: tiny pearls (K & Company), foam tape

  1. This is a gorgeous card. I don't mind seeing those stitched mats all day, I love them, too. How funny--I had my pretty peonies out today, too. I like how the embossing is branches, and it looks like your butterfly is perched near that little bird.

    I struggle with the Spring time change, too. Takes me a good month or so to catch up, if I ever do. Best wishes to you! ;-)
