Summer birthdays at Totally Ladybug Tuesdays
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope all of you that had a nice long weekend here in the states had great weather and got to enjoy time with family and friends. We went to my parents and worked in the yard so my flower beds are now nicely mulched and pretty. Today we are being challenged to make a birthday card with a summer theme. Sue has provided this challenge and I used Cupcake Ruby to make my card today. You can purchase her here at Ladybug Crafts Ink.
I tried to use some bright papers along with flowers to meet the challenge. She has a MFT border on the bottom and a doily I painted with some shimmerz bubble gum paint to make it sparkle a bit. It also makes it curl so you have been warned! And since butterflies are synonymous with summer and I have seen them on so many cards lately I made one myself from a MS punch, some gold accent on the edges and glittered up to boot. Ok guys, your turn to show us what you interpret as a summer birthday for your chance to win a free stamp or be picked as one of the top three!
