Happy birthday Kelly!

Hi there!

I'm here today to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet friend and fellow DT member Kelly.

Kelly is just the loveliest girl and I'm so blessed to have her in my life (and on my team over at ABNH!)

A few of the girls at the blog got together to make her some bee-day cards...

Here's mine.

 

I'm in love.

So I grabbed a handful of Distress Markers and scribbled a little patch of colour from each of them (in a line obviously!) covering the entire length of my piece of watercolour paper.

Next I took a mini mister and added a few scoopfuls of Perfect Pearls into some water. I shook it up well (after I closed the lid LOL) and then I sprayed the bejiggety--thats a lot-- out of the paper. I tilted it on an angle so I would get a nice 'drippage' look (and that way the colour would spread over more of the paper).

When I was happy with it, I dried the whole thing with my heat gun, dabbing at the excess pools of liquid that appeared. Then I sprayed it some more :) I heat-set it again.

Next I ran it through my Big Shot and diecut using the GORGEOUS Memory Box die. I added a few of the butterflies that had been diecut out, onto the side of the panel and added my sentiment.

Finally I adhered it to a Shallows notecard using THICK dimensional adhesive so that I'd get a pretty shadow beneath those butterflies.

Love Love LOVE

Here are the goodies you'll need to make this card (and you really do need to make it, it's so purty in real life!!)
