This has so many possibilities, but as always, you can play along with the anything goes option so long as it's a birthday.

For this card I dry embossed the white panel with a Darice folder, it's called crackle and I love the look ( and feel) of it.
Here's a closer look.
I had 2 coloured butterflies in my stash. These had been stamped with versafine ink, clear embossed, fussy cut and coloured with Inktense pencils.
I diecut the birthday sentiment twice from black card. One I inked in versamark then sprinkled on aged black frantage embossing enamel and heat set it. I glued it onto the second one to add dimension.
The design team and birthday guest have some wonderful inspiration for you so I hope you can play along.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Retro Rubber where it's anything goes and you must use a stamp older than one year.
These Darkroom Door butterfly stamps are from the Wings set dated 2012.
