Happy Monday to you! I’m still working on building up my December birthday card stash – how about you? My eldest daughter celebrates a milestone birthday on the 20th so I wanted her card to be special!
I decided to just go with that lovely flower and not add the “number” – lol. I think the butterfly is better anyway.
I used the Basic Gray Archival ink pad to stamp the flower outline so I could colour it in with Stampin’ Write Markers and a Blender Pen. TIP: If you use the regular Whisper White card stock, make sure to blend your colours with a very light touch so you won’t “feather” the paper.
I followed along with the Create with Connie and Mary colour challenge as well as the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for this card. I love a challenge don’t you? It gives a great starting point for your project!

Happy Stamping!
Cynthia your card is a great take on both challenges! I love how you used our colours in a non-festive way. I especially like the horizontal detail across the top of your card and that wonderful butterfly. I’m sure your daughter will love it. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
Thanks Joanne. My daughter loves red so I thought it was a great way to participate in the challenge.
This is lovely and I’m sure your daughter will love it. The butterfly is gorgeous and probably a better choice than the numbers! LOL! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
Thanks Jen. Lol, you’re right she will certainly like the butterfly better!
What a gorgeous card for a December birthday! The colors are so appropriate, but it doesn’t feel at all like Christmas! Love this! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
Thanks so much Chris. Sometimes December birthdays can be a challenge.
How beautiful, Cynthia! Your card is so unexpected in a sea of Christmas cards, but the flower is beautiful done in these colors! The silver butterfly adds just the right amount of pizzaz and the background DSP is so fun! I love the touch of embossing with the crocheted lace ribbon too! Thanks for sharing your creation with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
Thanks Jenny, it all went together just the way I had envisioned.
I agree! The butterfly is gorgeous with the flower and would be much more appreciated than a number! ha! 🙂 Lovely card Cynthia! Thanks for playing along this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
You bet Bridgette. Thank you!
What a wonderful way to use holiday colors to celebrate something different. I agree…that butterfly is a perfect ‘substitute’ for a number! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
Thanks Mary.
Oh…great choice to use the holiday colors for a birthday card in December, and use flowers! Perfect! My husband’s birthday is Christmas Day…I’d better get working on his card! Thanks for playing along with the color challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
Those December birthdays can be challenging can’t they? Thanks Connie.
