Happy Birthday Niece





I made this card for our Niece in New Jersey. her Birthday is 2 days after mine in September.
I took my bazzill light blue paper and also a printed blue and white paper plus a white paper, I stacked it, I used my MS punch for the butter fly's and then used my marvy fence punch and put ribbon through it, it happens that I had ribbon that matched the printed paper perfectly in design. I also used another one of MS punched around the bottom and sides of the white paper I used. I added some pearl drops on each of the centers of my Butterfly's and also on the the diamond point of the printed paper.I also put 2 white buttons on the ribbon coming down on the left side of the paper. I do hope you enjoy this card as much I as I did creating it.
I want to thank you for visiting I would love you to leave me a comment and maybe even become a follower? friend. on my blog.
