Seize the Birthday #306 - Ashwini - Use a Frame


Our hostess for today's STB is Ashwini and she would like us to use a frame on our cards.  Come see all of the wonderful inspiration by our DT's and join us in our Challenge.

I used Pinkfresh's Notched Corner Fames with a Gina K Snowy Background stencil and Gina's Inks on PF's Butterfly Stencil that I had in my stash.  The gems are from Pretty Pink Posh.


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


Our Surprise Party Guest for May and June is Wanda Cullen.  Welcome Wanda
.



Thanks for stopping by.

Your butterfly is gorgeous Linda, as is everything about your card. Love the colors and the frame. Have a great weekend my friend.

What a pretty butterfly, this is wonderful!

I adore how you use that notched corner pink fresh frame. I have to make a note to use mine that way. That blue border really sets it off as well and adds to the beautiful butterfly that is the focal point.

Between you and Barb, I might have to invest in this notched corner frame, it adds so much interest to your design. That butterfly is stunning, Lin! Awesome job!

Didn't realize it'd been so long since I last visited, but your cards have been just beautiful Lin! Your butterfly card is GORGEOUS and I love the stenciled postage card you did a few challenges ago too! You do such lovely work my friend! Hope all is well and Spring/Summer weather has arrived?! Finally starting to see things bloom around here and more sunshine too...was a loooong Winter here! I think you need to do a triplet update soon...I was just thinking about them the other day and wondering what they're all up to? Do you still get to see them often? We see our youngest two every weekend while their mom works and they sure keep us on the go! Take care my friend! Hugs. :0)

I do have the frame dies with me, but not that big butterfly. It looks spectacular! I love the rich colors of blues you've used on it, too. Great card, Linda!
