Tomorrow is my neighbour's birthday. You'll remember Mrs. W from the stories where she's asked me to make cards for her here, here and here.
I'm never quite sure what her taste is, so I figured a foolproof way to make a card she would like would be to case the card she chose for me for my birthday. Here it is:
I made this card at a time when I was attempting the baby wipe technique as shown at Papertrey for another card. My baby wipe card was a mess - muddy and brown. But I had cut one of the MFT butterflies out of vellum for Mrs W's card and decided to see if I could use the baby wipe on it. I simply pressed the butterfly into the baby wipe and look how pretty it turned out! I quickly cut two more and repeated the process.
I used Neat&Tangled's Photo Booth for the sentiment.
On another note, my daughter Kate has just started her own blog, Platypus Krafts. If you have time, I know she would love to hear from you!
I was wondering how you got that fabulous soft look on those butterflies, Ardyth ... they're so pretty, all light and dreamy! Mrs W is bound to love this one! Off to pay a visit to Kate! Anita :)
