Happy Friday and Happy New Year!! Wow, I can't believe it's 2016!! My gosh, the years just fly by :) I'm still in Kentucky with my sister and won't be able to visit you for a few more days. I apologize and can't wait to see what I've missed while I've been gone :)
The first day of the month means a new "Anything Goes" monthly linky challenge at DL.ART. For these birthday cards, I've used papers from The Paper Studio and lightly distressed the edges.
A Marianne Designs Anja's Border was used as the base and popped up with foam tape. The next layer is a Spellbinders Opulent Ovals die, also popped up with foam tape. The gorgeous ribbon for this card is Cabernet from Vintage Vineyard Bundle.

The banner is a My Craft Spot (no longer in business) die and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. The butterfly is a Memory Box Moonlight Butterfly, covered in Diamond Dust from Sparkle N Sprinkle. This beautiful ribbon (my favorite!!) is Blue Hue Tail from Mermaid's Tale Second Edition. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your Anything Goes project!! I can't wait to see what you create :)
Love the Marianne Designs Anja's Border with its intricate design! Beautiful cards, the butterfly layering is interesting and the pretty bow and flowers add much charm to the cards!

Happy New Year to you,my friend. I love what you did with this card. The papers peeking out from behind the gorgeous dies reall draws the eye in and the sentiment on top is perfect. I must get some of the gorgeous papers you always use. I think you have the same fetish for butterflies as I do. A card never seems complete without one. Beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Miss Lisa, and such beautiful papers in the background! Lovely bows, as always, and lively, pretty butterflies in an inviting garden! I hope your Christmas celebrations were extra special. I'm beginning to emerge from this last exacerbation, and hope to be visiting more regularly, soon! Happy New Year! hugs, de

Happy New Year, my sweetest friend! I am thankful to finally be visiting my bloggie friends. I have missed you terribly, but you already knew that. :o) Thank you for being a rock for me and my family... I continue to keep yours close to my heart and in my prayers. As for your cards... what else can I say except that they are beautiful beyond description. I cannot even choose a favorite aspect. The papers are extraordinarily lovely and you used the Marianne die that's highest on my wish list! :o) It looks striking atop nature's beauty. The ribbon and flowers are delightful... everything about these simply brings happiness to my heart. You are such a gift to me and I'm forever grateful for our friendship. Wishing you love, health, and happiness all year long... with unexpected blessings from God's heart to yours. :o)
