Birthday blessings

Hi there!

For today's card I had inspiration from 3 challenges:

Muse card club

&

Dynamic duos challenge

&

Keep it simple




At the Muse card club Vicki's card has great elements that can be used as inspiration.

I decided to use the doily, and instead of the butterfly, I chose to use a bird.

Where's the doily you ask? Well ... I enlarged a doily cutting file in my Silhouette software programme, and used it as part of my background. I kept it white on white like Vicki did to keep the focus on the soaring bird, positioned in the same place as the butterfly in the inspiration card.

The bold colors from The Dynamic duos were just what I was looking for!


                                   
           
                                  


                  


That's it for now!

Thanks for visiting me today!

  1. Mooi en elegant vind ik je kaart. De doily geeft mij het gevoel van stralen van de zon, waar de zwaluw naartoe vliegt.
