Hi crafters! I pulled out the alcohol inks for today's card. I used Red Pepper, Sunset Orange and Flamingo alcohol inks on a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card. Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut two thin frames. I added acetate to the smaller one, then added mounting foam to the backs of both of the frames and attached them to the background. I made several of the Button Flowers in white in different sizes, glittered them and attached them in the lower corner of the smaller frame. I added small pieces of the Magnolia Corner as accents. I used the Wishes shadowed die/stamp combo cut in white with a white shadow and glued it across the acetate in the smaller frame. I stamped the word Birthday and cut it out with the tag die and added it above the wishes die cut. I used the Butterfly Delights die set and added several butterflies of varying sizes as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and everyone, im loving todays card with its vibrant colours and pop of white. That background is stunning Sue and I love how the frame leaves a tiny red border around the card. The button flowers look so pretty with the glitter and I dont use butterflies enough either. Thank you Sue for brightening my bank holiday morning.

Hi Sue, love the composition of the card but being honest, the colour of the background is not for me, but I appreciate the technique and the fact that you use the colours you love should you wish to make this card. WakeyL
I love the colours on this one, it is a very girly, pretty card and I know that a lot of my female friends and family would love it too.

Lovely, bright and cheerful.
Doreen R
Hi Sue. Love the colour of the background and the white accents stand out so nicely against it. Such wonderful inspiration.
Lisbeth
Very vibrant background Sue.
Not a colour I normally work with unless I’m doing sunset or autumn but I love the effect it gives with the contrast of the white flowers & foliage & also the greeting. I haven’t come across silver alcohol ink card before, something else to look out for. I like the way you have floated the greeting too. Thank you Sue.
Another stunning card and a real treat to brighten up this very dull day. X
Gorgeous, cheerful card.
Stephanie K
