Hi everyone, an old friend who I don’t really see nowadays had a special birthday this week, so I thought I’d better get busy!
First I cut a large rectangular stitched frame using stitched rectangle dies, then I stamped a floral panel stamp (which was the cover gift with a recent craft magazine) onto a snippet of white card and coloured it with Zig markers with Wink of Stella added to the flower petals for a little sparkle. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold then attached the flower panel behind the aperture and matted onto gold card and a home made card blank. To finish I added die cut numbers for the age, and a die cut butterfly from copper glitter card (which actually looks more orange than in the photo). I also stamped a greeting inside the card.
Stamps: Flower panel free with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine issue 283 (May 2026); Visible Image Birthday Wishes;
Media: Versafine Clair (Nocturne); Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; Versamark; WOW gold embossing powder; Wink of Stella;
Tools: Hunkydory Moonstone Duo-Stitched Rectangle dies; Craft Addiction UK Essential Number dies; Joy! Crafts Vintage Flourishes Butterfly die.

A pretty floral stamp - a good magazine gift and you've coloured it beautifully.
Wow, pretty card with just the right amount of sparkle. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas Anything Goes challenge!
Such a gorgeous card with these cheerful and happy colors, perfect for a special birthday. Love the gold accents and gorgeous butterfly too! So happy to see it linked up in the Garden Party gallery!
Thanks for your lovely comments which are so appreciated. The 'thing' with Blogger not moving posts up the list is so annoying, as you said, and it seems to be quite random as well. I've started scrolling down my list quite often in search of any of my 'regulars' who sometimes move up to the top and sometimes not. I have no idea how, or even if, this can be solved.
Beautiful card and floral stamp- beautifully coloured too-a great magazine freebie.

This is a gorgeous card, Pauline! I really love the way that frame is so thick and it really makes the flowers in the middle pop. You did a great job with those flowers too. I also love the little details of the number and butterfly. Your friend will love hearing from you for sure! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday.
