DRS Designs Challege #18: Butterfly Birthdays

The latest challenge on the DRS Designs' blog is to create a birthday card and something fun to accompany it. Since I have quite the collection of butterfly images, I was very excited to see this new birthday sentiment from DRS Designs. I decided to let it be my inspiration for a card and coordinating treat box.

Stamps by DRS Designs: 'K's Butterfly Birthday Saying', Medium Open Silhouette Butterfly, Small Open Silhouette Butterfly, Interlocking Flower Background, Silhouette Branch Background. Cardstock: GP110 white, Certainly Celery, Pale Plum, Elegant Eggplant. Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


Butterflies are even better with a touch of sparkle, don't you think? Glitter is one embellishment that always looks better in real life, but here's a close-up where you see a little more of the sparkle that earns this glitter its Dazzling Diamonds name:


Since mailing a slice of birthday cake is beyond my capabilities, this fun 'Piece of Whatever' box by Kitty Franken would be the next best thing:

Stamps by DRS Designs: Medium Open Silhouette Butterfly, Small Open Silhouette Butterfly, Silhouette Branch Background, sentiment from Birthday Candle Burst, Birthday Ribbon Slide. Cardstock: GP110 white, Certainly Celery, textured Pale Plum, Elegant Eggplant. Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds glitter, circle punch, scallop border punch, white orandy ribbon, Bella Baubles.

The small butterfly on the tip of the cake slice also serves as a pull to open the cake slice and reveal the goodies inside. Chocolate and a stamp should fit perfectly!
