Okay, okay, it might look a "bit" busy, but this birthday card is for my SIL who has a very BIG birthday coming up next Saturday. She is a girly girl, so OTT was the way to go!
Hannah asked us to use a smile on our cards for the Ways to Use it challenge. I think little Miss has a very sweet, demure smile : ) and Dawn asked for birthday cards because her favorite daughter has a birthday today! Happy, Happy birthday to you!!!
The butterfly was given to me by Jennifer (Mother's Daughter) and it has a kind of opalessence to it. The large looking gem in the flower ribbon center is actually a vintage button from my grandmother.
Thanks so much for taking a peek!!!

Oh Kathleen this is super cute, gorgeous and pretty! I love your layout and your dp's. Your little girl is so adorable and that lovely little butterfly with her trailing pearls and then the bling just bring it all together. I don't think it's over the top at all. For anyone who is a girly girl this is just "normal"!! And it wouldn't be as cute if it was done in any other color other than PINK!! I use a lot of pink as it is my DGD's fav color !! I'm sure your SIL will LOVE it!!

You have so many girly details to this card. It really is very pretty. I love the idea of the button being from your grandmother, and your're giving it to your sister. Very pretty bow. tfs
