A Butterfly Birthday

One of the things I love about stamping is the ability to customize.  When it comes to birthdays, I try to make my card match the gift bag or paper that I'm using.  Today I have a set that I made for a birthday last week that turned out amazing.



Doesn't the card look like it came with the bag!!  I was so tickled when hubby found this gorgeous bag because I knew immediately what to do for a matching card.



The Butterfly Basics Bundle matched the theme of the bag beautifully.  I used Basic Black and Very Vanilla along with the Typeset Designer Series Paper.  The card was very simple to make since it's just one color of ink, Memento Tuxedo Black.



I stamped off to make the leaves in the center of the card a bit lighter and more vintage looking.  It also helps the sentiment stand out better, especially since it overlaps a little.  A strip of the beautiful Typeset Designer Paper adds to the vintage feel and creates balance.  I used a little bit of retired taffeta ribbon, it adds that little extra something that was needed.



The butterfly was the icing on the cake.  I used Basic Black with a couple of small pearls and added it over the leaves.





In the end, I was super pleased with how this gift set turned out.  I hope you give the Butterfly Basics Bundle a try, it's so amazing!


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy Stamping!
