Handmade Fairy Lydia Birthday Card

Please click on the picture to enlarge.

I made this birthday card for my daughter. I think this image is perfect for a spring birthday celebration.

This is how I made the card:

I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background patterned paper is from the "Que Sera Sera" paper pack by K & Company.

I used the following cutting dies for this card:

Spellbinders Oval

Spellbinders Scalloped Oval

Spellbinders "Happy Birthday" Sentiment

Sizzix Rectangle Frame

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

I used the digital stamp "Lydia" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I colored the background with Rembrandt soft pastels. I used Tim Holtz Distress Glaze to seal the image/background.

I cut the image with the Spellbinders Oval die and glued it to the Scalloped Oval die cut with matte medium. I used the Spellbinders die to cut the "Happy Birthday" sentiment. I used the reverse side of the background paper to make a rectangular frame behind the ovals.

I embellished the card with two butterflies that I cut with a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I put some tiny bright pink enamel jewels on the butterflies. I put three green enamel jewels on the right side of the frame.
