My long-time Stampin' Up demonstrator's birthday is tomorrow and I needed some inspiration quickly. I like to use current products and my current SU stash is a little short on birthdays. Luckily, the TGIF Challenge had a nice sketch that inspired me - and one of their fabulous design team even used this butterfly! It turns out I do have current products that work for birthdays!
I love the funky chunky look of these butterflies. I have so many graceful butterflies - this was a nice change. Then I realized that the stamp set I got with sale-a-bration could work for birthday - maybe it's a stretch but at least it's an excited sentiment and talks about another year! I pulled some older paper out - Playing with Patterns. I got it just for the sheer uniqueness of the color combo. I haven't really embraced it, but it does seem to work with my fun little butterfly and bold sentiment.
Thank you to the TGIF challenge for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteI've yet to meet a butterfly I didn't love! Perhaps this one is 'beefed up' for that long flight to Mexico? LOve your paper choices, Kim - embrace those colors, they're gorgeous - and so is this birthday card!
