Good morning welcome to my blog & hope you all have a great Halloween

 Hello all this card i made for Lisa my daughter's birthday which was yesterday
she was 43 now i do feel old where did those years go.
I started with a piece of teal foundation card covered it with  some double sided sticky sheet
i cut 4 of Sue Wilson's Spanish collection border die's took the sticky sheet off &
 put my borders across across it then sprinkled glacier ice glitter jewels onto exposed sticky area's
i then glued this to a teal mat i made a frame out of white card put mounting tape for dimension  & put it over the the front of the border area,then added it to the base card .which i embossed with Sues Frosty swirls i know it's a Christmas folder but just liked the swirls poking out. I cut some open & closed Delicate daisy's by Sue of course & cut 2 magical butterfly glued all of them onto the front of the card used the petite finery spray's & cut 2 of  the fern trio added pearl embellishments to finish.
Hope you all like it.Thank you all for taking the time to look at my card. Hugs Lynda xx
