Michelle's 2026 Birthday Card

 My good friend Michelle loves purples & turquoise/aqua colors.
I decided to combine the two and W O W do they look fabulous together!


I started with a turquoise page for the main card, 
which is sized 5" x 7",
then layered various strips to cover the entire front.
Some are straight cut; others are punched, torn or deco scissor cut.

Check out these layers from top to bottom!


With the gold color in the beautiful paper in the first strip at the top of the card, 
I decided to use a similar color for the oval die cut, 
as well as the enamel dots placed on the bottom strip.
This color really offers a beautiful contrast to the purples & aquas.

A special birthday message is printed; oval die cut; then adhered flat on the card.

In the center of the oval is a stunning ReneaBouquets butterfly.
It's among my top faves in her collection.

On the inside of the card on the left side
are aqua & purple rub-ons.
Aren't they so adorable?


Thanks for stopping by to view Michelle's card.
Wishing her a very Happy Birthday!

Have a blessed day,
Lisa >^..^<
