Happy Birthday to Me!

I wanted to start sharing our June Scraps and Prayers cards that we made in our last class ... and ... since today is my birthday ... let's start with a birthday card that we made.  Enjoy my card while I spend the day with my 3 boys (grandsons).  My son is coming over Sunday afternoon with my sweet Olive Jane, so I can just spread my celebration out over several days. 

I covered the entire front of this card with DSP.  I love the scalloped layer.

Of course, the Glitter Enamel Dots are my favorite.

The little daisy stamp adds a nice coordinating touch.

Butterfly Birthday Card

This card uses the same technique as the card in my previous post.  I just switched out the dies I used and switched out the color I used.  We made this one at my creative stenciling class.  Super easy and super fun!

In my previous post, I die cut my dragonfly from vellum, colored the back, and then heat set it.  I did the same with the two butterflies in this card.

Dragonfly Birthday Card

Here's a card we'll be making at my Saturday Stampers class.  It's going to be so much fun!  Actually, as of today, registration for this class is closed.  Be sure, if you have a class you'd like to take, sign up early, so you don't miss out.  I do limit class size, so I can give help, as needed, as well as have plenty of materials for each one in the class.
Now, back to today's card.  This card actually uses dies as stencils.  The only time you need to use the Big Shot is to cut out the attached dragonfly.  

I used Pool Party for my spritzing.

The butterfly is cut from vellum.  I added color to the vellum by sponging the back of the dragonfly and then heat set the ink.

I think this technique makes for a really pretty card.

You can easily change your design by varying the color you use to spritz and/or varying the die you use for your stencil.
