Exquisite Butterflies Birthday Wishes by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate a spring or summer birthday with a trio of Exquisite Butterflies. A slimline card - with lots of white space - balances the shimmery, shiny metallic 6x6 artpapers. Hi, Jean here with a simple design for a special occasion.

Cut Exquisite Butterflies from a gold Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6. Cut a turquoise Rainbow Reflections 6x6 with the 2" wide Wrapped Stitch Rectangle Layers die. Assemble the butterflies and attach them to the rectangle - use foam tape for the upper wing sections.

Carefully remove the entire sheet of the turquoise and gold Anemone Grove 6x6 - including the top edge that's attached to the pad. Cut it with the 1-⅛" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.

Cut a turquoise 6x6 from the solid-core Lagoon Collection with the ⅝" wide Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½"). Add turquoise Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Add special wishes with a Happy Birthday Foil Greetings White Circle Tab. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

I've used a lot of the white and black foil greeting tabs recently. These instant greetings complement any design and add subtle dimension to your cards. If you already have a stash of completed birthday cards our Thank You Foil Greetings White Circle Tabs would work with this design too.

Thanks for visiting...have a great weekend!
