Our "Topping" option this time is... Anything with Wings

You You can always make a project a birthday theme if you're not into the toppings.

 But remember if you do use the toppings you throw your hat into the ring to become a designer on our next challenge.

My card for your inspiration

I started this card with a rich look that I wanted so I chose Cranberry cardstock and Lux gold cardstock from Gina K. Next I used Simon says stamps outlined butterflies images. After stamping that I use gold embossing powder and heated it. Also I use GINA K designs master layouts one and two. The smaller panel has spellbinders woodland tails design paper.

Finally I use the Greetery Curio findings for the Moth and the Dragonfly.

 I actually had these made up a long time ago and they were laying on my desk what a find!
