HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!!!

Hi everyone, today is my mothers 60th birthday and i spent the afternoon in a panic to finish a card for her. I actually gave up on the idea of making a card for her a couple of times but i kept coming back to the idea and finally got one done i was fairly happy with. My original idea was to make one of those fancy tri fold cards i have seen around but i could not make it big enough to accommodate the chipboard "60th" and some sort of stamped image without looking cluttered. So i went back to a regular card, 6X6 and here it is:

Here you can see i have layered my dear little magnolia to give her a 3D effect:

You can't really tell from the pictures but the little hearts are actually buttons. I put my new fave product, crystal effects on the chipboard 60th for that raised glossy effect and i also added some, with glitter, to Tilda's wings.

She fits in with 5 challenges (that was a fluke, i was only thinking of MDUC when i made the card and i realized later on she fitted with the rest):

Magnolia Down Under Challenge - cute as a button

Cupcake craft Challenge - cute as a bug (butterflies)

Creative Card Crew - all that sparkles (crystals on the wings of the large butterfly and glitter on the wings of Tilda)

Flutter By Wednesdays - fairy or butterfly and flower

Creative Inspirations - letters or numbers

Phew, glad that finally done. Thank you all for dropping by and leaving you lovely comments, i enjoy reading every one.
