First Birthday Card

Hello everyone!  I hope you're all having a great week!!  The weather has cooled down a bit here, so I'm thrilled about that - no more triple digit heat indexes!!

One of my sweetie's cousins recently celebrated her first birthday.  Her mom sent out the cutest invitations, which inspired me when I created her birthday card.

The invitations had a polka dot background and a couple of butterflies on it.  I'm not sharing the actual invitation because it also included a picture of the cute birthday girl and I wasn't sure how her mom felt about having her baby's picture shared on the internet.  I hope you all understand!!

The colors of the butterfly are similar to one of the butterflies on the invitation and I managed to find some polka dot paper with the same colors too.  I embossed the yellow layer of the wings and gave my butterfly a sweet Peachy Keen face.  A crinkle ribbon bow topped off with a twine bow and button finish off the card!  :-)

I also want  to remind everyone about a fantastic challenge coming up at Fantabulous Cricut on Monday.  We have a wonderful sponsor - Cricut Vinyl Supplies.
