Butterfly Blossom Happy Birthday

Ahh… it’s so nice when the work week skips right over Monday! Every week should be like that! LOL! I hope that you all had a nice three day weekend. I had a relaxing Saturday and Monday and a fun Sunday! I went into the city and spent the day with my friend Kim. We had lunch at the Diner and the went to PC Richard to get her a new Stove and Microwave, she has been without one for about six months so it was time! We sat by the river for a bit and then had some Thai for dinner. If you are ever in Manhattan there is a great teeny Thai place called Lennox Thai in the 60’s on 1st Avenue! We have been there a few times and the food is delicious and the service wonderful.

As promised here is my other card that I made using the Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossom Stamp Set from the April Card Kit. The images and greeting are from the above mentioned Stamp Set and are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Hammermill 100lb Paper. The butterflies are stamped onto a piece of Hammermill that I stamped with the Simon Says Stamp Old Text Background Stamp first. I used the coordinating Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms Stencils and Various Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks with blender brushes to color them in. The greeting is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Nocturne Black VersaFine Clair Ink. The coordinating Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Blossoms Dies are used to cut everything out. I used the Simon Says Stamp Window Trio Wafer Dies from the Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit to cut out a pice of Black 100lb Card Stock. That is adhered to a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My images and greeting are added with 3M Foam Tape. In keeping with my need for sparkle I added some Simon Says Stamp Gumdrops Confetti Sequins.

I really do like that Butterfly Blossoms Stamp Set. It’s a great one for making quick easy to color cards! I hope that you liked my post for today. I’m going to try and get some more creative time in this week so hopefully I will be back soon with another post! Have a great day!
