Butterfly Birthday

 

Greetings friends. I have two birthday cards to share with you this week, and they are very different from each other. The first card uses a butterfly background die and a lot of glitter.

To make the card, I chose a background piece of paper from the Brilliant Fuchsia paper pack. I chose it because I really liked the pink color and the little metallic gold accents that I was hoping would shine through the glitter:

Next, I put a piece of Elizabeth Crafts double stick tape between the patterned paper and the black die cut. You can't tell from the picture, but the adhesive is exposed through all of the open butterfly holes:

 

 

I then sprinkled all the butterflies with some Art Glitter brand transparent glitter. I chose the Elizabeth Craft tape because it holds glitter really well (it doesn't fall off) and I used the transparent glitter so that the patterned paper would show under the glitter:

 

To finish the card, I added my shocking pink butterfly and happy birthday foil tab. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
