This card is made using one of the new sets being released today by Our Daily Bread designs called Happy Birthday! I incorporated 7 of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges!
DTGD09sgtstamper-to use blue and lots of embellishments
DTGD09cindy_haffner-sketch
DTGD09KrystieLee-to use something clear
DTGD09genie1314-to use a tag
DTGD09Becca_Stamps-to use die cuts or punches
DTGD09DeborahLynneS-texture
DTGD09craftycaro-to make a non-traditional size card
I colored the image with copics
(C1,C3,B91,B93,B95,B97,YG95). Had to slip in a little green for the leaves! The butterfly was stamped again and cut out to attach over the main image. I used Glossy Accents to cover the flowers and the butterfly for a little clear shine and texture. I used only a portion of one of the sentiments on the little cuttlebug tag. The Not Quite Navy layer is cuttlebugged with the Textile embossing folder and distressed on the edges for more texture. I used Spellbinders dies for the circles and squares. The tag and buttons are threaded with embroidery floss. Thanks for taking a look! Have a great Saturday!
