Seize the Birthday #253 - Winged Things




 Happy New Year
Welcome back 
Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday with family and friends.  Or should I say survived another Holiday. Lol...
Our challenge at STB this month is hosted by Cathy, and she would like us to include Winged Things on our cards.  I hope you'll join us.  Come see the amazing cards by our DT's for inspiration.
Of course, my favorite winged things are butterflies.  I had a sheet of Alcohol Inks, in my stash, in one of my favorite colors and decided to die cut some butterflies from Rubberneck's Butterflies Are Free Stramp and Die set.
The Oval and card are from Gina K.'s Master Layout #1 
The EF is one I used while playing at Colleen's
Black embellishments from Gina K.


But if you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!




Thanks for stopping by.

This is lovely, Lin. The embossing folder is so pretty and the AI butterflies look beautiful. I'm sure your holidays were fun with the triplets. Ours was cold but fun with the family.

I like your pretty butterflies fluttering about those birthday wishes! Wonderful card, Linda!

And you always make the most glamorous butterfly designs, Lin! I really love the deep color of your AI, so perfect for the butterflies up against the texture of the butterfly e/f in white! Love the oval, too. I never think to use my ovals ~ what's up with that? Thank you for the reminder! Happy New Year Hugs, Darnell

After seeing your blog header, I am not surprised that you did the butterflies. They look so delicate and I love this design with the oval.

Great idea to cut out butterflies from an alcohol-inked panel, Linda! They look perfectly happy on the oval panel.
