Birthday Greetings

CPS is doing a PTI challenge with a PTI prize pack. I couldn’t pass that up! I needed a birthday card and the challenge is a sketch, so half the card was already decided for me. I wanted a cheery card but not overly girly. I selected the Mailbox Greetings set from PTI – that seemed to work nicely with the sketch. Since I am mailing the card, I didn’t want it too bulky, so this is just layers and some popped butterflies.

I had to do a little more – the inside was just a bit to plain :) With a little masking, I stamped just the end mailbox and some grass on more white paper. Then I colored and cut. I added an envelope with a letter inside. It isn’t much, but I’m happy with it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday
