I've been trying to make birthday cards for my 'stock' and this card today is one of them! I followed the There She Goes #145 Sketch and also played along with the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge #107 of using banners.
I started off choosing these tiny butterflies from a TSG stamp set. I stamped out four of them for layering. Next, I chose some American Crafts paper and stamped the sentiment on a Lawn Fawn banner. The card was looking a bit bland even after popping the banner up and even popping up the butterflies.......so I decided to add the "Happy Birthday" under the banner.
Here's the sketch, which I flipped on it's side:
And here's the Hand Stamped Sentiment's challenge:
