Today is my friend and downline, Jan’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jan! Hope that you have a lovely day.
Obviously as a master crafter herself, I have to really up my game when I create Jan’s birthday card! Here goes.

Bigz Die: Top Note (113463), Beautiful Butterflies (114507)
Sizzlits Die: Little Leaves (114511)
Embossing Folder: Vintage Wallpaper (120175)
Other: Gold Brads (104337), Basic Pearls (119247), Clear EP (101428)

Some of the highlights: a die cut Top Note of Very Vanilla was first stamped with the sentiment and then rolled with the Texture Wheel using Versamark ink and heat embossed with Clear EP. The edges of the card, mat and Top Note were sponged with Chocolate Chip ink then the Top Note was further sponged with Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink, working from the outside inwards. Two butterflies were die cut from Vellum card and one was brayered with Tangerine Tango. The other was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper and then brayered on the reverse with Pumpkin Pie so that the embossing pops. After layering the butterflies together with glue dots, basic pearls were added as the body. I’ll post a tutorial for the flower just as soon as I can get to it.
The inside was kept quite simple.
