This card was made for an Australian friend for her birthday.

The focal image is Gina K Designs Dogwood and Butterfly set, and the sentiment is from Gina K Designs Birthday Greetings set. The colouring was done with Copics – my third time using Copics, and the black frame was made on the Silhouette.  It is Design #41360, for those who will want to know.  It is called “Fancy Flourish Frame with Mat”.  I ‘ungrouped’ it because I didn’t want the mat.

I stamped an extra set of flowers and coloured the same as the main focal image.  Then coloured and carefully cut out the larger flower, and added it with pop-dots.  Then added Stardust Stickles to further highlight that flower.

The background was handmade also – the branch is also from the Dogwood and Butterfly set. I stamped it randomly, then sponged around the edges, then lightly in the middle of the card (as it would mostly be covered). Then I used Stickles Stardust to place tiny dots of sparkle on the ‘flowers’ of each branch.

I didn’t have any matching pearls, so used some white pearls, and coloured them with the same Copics used for the flowers.

Once finished, the topper was added to white cardstock.

A little time consuming, but a relatively easy card to make.
