Simon's 7th Birthday


Lots of fun with this card, I played along with a couple of challenges listed below....challenges always get me creating in ways I thought I wouldn't. I do not use bright colors much, not really my thing...but pulled out the brighter greens and pinks for this one! Used a little ink smooshing, added some washi tape, and pretty pink posh watermelon sequins. The butterfly is die cut and I used ink smooshing and ink splatter on it, I then covered it with a thin layer of stickles and a few eneamel dots...fun! I add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine, kindness!
