This time at Seize the Birthday It's no Toppings. Of course, it's always "Anything Goes" as long as it's for a birthday.
This is how I was inspired for the challenge.
This is a digital image from Power Poppy and is called Spring Meadow Bouquet. digital images are new to me, but with help from some friends, I am making headway. I only used part of the image, which is so exciting about how many different ways that you can work with them.
For this one, I printed and colored with copic markers and then decided to cut out part of the paper to make the butterfly "pop". I place it on some pink gingham design paper and then pink card stock. The border is from Simon Says and is called Frames. I added just two pink pearls for bling. You can bet there is Wink of Stella on the butterfly.
Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team have made this week.

The butterfly looks amazing! Fabulous colouring too. Such a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, and popping up that butterfly is GENIUS!!! I really like the pink gingham here, not something I would probably use but it's wonderful. I LOVE this card, it just makes me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you used that gingham with the flowers and popped up that butterfly. I would never have thought to use the pink and would have probably gone with yellow or brown, but the pink sooo works and provides a nice contrast. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and your coloring is awesome. And, I always love a card with gingham on it and yours looks gorgeous with it.
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly does POP! This is such a pretty digi! LOVE that gorgeous sunflower, so pretty so Fall-like! Your background is so subtle and pretty and ties in nicely with your little pink flowers! PRETTY!
ReplyDeleteI saw this in my email and had to run right over to see what image it was. Love how you cut away the flower and popped the butterfly. How in the world did you think pink? LOL, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI see several comments wondering how I picked pink. It was just a scrap on my desk. Nothing more that that. Lol
DeleteOh my, Barb, this is gorgeous, and I love how you've cropped this image and added some gingham...something I always love! Beautifully done and a fabulous frame! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo

ReplyDeleteI adore gingham paper in any color, but pink is my favorite! This card is so pretty! The image looks like it is coming out of the scalloped frame! Well done!
