For the image, I used an adorable clear stamp: Elsie with Daisies from Wild Rose Studio. I won it in a challenge and I am so happy to be inking it up! I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and then fussy-cut. Here's a close-up of the stamped image and the die cuts:
I mentioned that I used a lot of dies for this card, and here's the list: Butterflies (Memory Box), Flowers (Joy! Crafts, Die-namics, Cheery Lynn), Leaves (Cheery Lynn), Bird (Elizabeth Craft Designs), Circle (Nellie's Multiframes), Lacey Circles (Spellbinders), Walking Cat (Poppy Stamps). I also used my EK Success flower punches.
The designer paper on the inside of the box and flaps is from Brenda Walton by K and Company. The birthday sentiment is from Jackie Rockwell (it was a freebie at one point, thank you!) and I coloured the word Happy with my Prisma pencils.
Here's the back of the card, all folded up. Plenty of room to write a personal sentiment on the back.
And finally, here is the colour swatch for our challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun. You must use at least 3 colours shown in the image; shading lighter or darker is fine. I think I managed to get every single colour on my card! I hope you can hop over and play along with us at Scrapping 4 Fun! Again, a big thank you to Rachelle for inviting me to be a Guest Designer - I had fun!
