I'm back at it again with a specially requested card!

You have to love a request from a guy to make a card for

a special young lady :) Here were his responses to my 

normal Q&A when I'm asked to make a card:

Her favorite color? I have no idea

Girly girl, tomboy, good mix? Ummm, not really girly girl.

Symbols of love on the card? Not too many, but some hearts.

Anything special you want? Nope, just whatever you come up with.

Look at these images and point out what strikes you the most: All of them.

How old is she turning? 21 {yes a real answer lol}

So here was my final mixed media birthday card :)

Butterfly Happy Birthday: A Mixed Media Card

What fun to sit down and make a mixed media card! 

I was contacted by a friend to make a birthday card for her older sister. 

She wanted a loving card that showcased her sister's love 

of butterflies and fun personality. I love a challenge...

especially one where the limits are almost boundless. The result:

I used a ton of supplies on this card....as is typical with mixed media :)

The three die cut butterflies are from one of my favorite oldie-but-goodie
stamp & die cut sets from Sizzix and Hero Arts. For color, I used
Dina Wakley heavy body acrylics, gelatos, and Pitt big brush pens. 

I would love to receive a created like this, so I really hope she enjoys it.
I can't wait to her the reaction! Thanks for stopping by and have a restful day. 

Deidre :)
