Happy Birthday classy card

I wanted to make my daughter a super grown up card. I can't believe she'll be 25 next week.

I started with a solid black base card. Using my circle cutter, I cut three staggered circles. I used textured DCWV Old World Cardstock.

I added a border and punched butterflies with pearls.

I even fancied up the inside with the same border punch.

A fish of a friend

When I saw Jackie Topa create this kitty hanging on a fish bowl - I had to try my hand at it.

I sent this card to my daughter and she got it today and loved it. You see the story behind this is, she had a fish last year and our cat managed to scoop it out but we saved it!

So when I saw Jackie's card I just had to make it! I had to make my own fish out of a few different punch pieces, I think Jackie's was drawn in. My kitty was made up from smaller punches but I think he came out cute.

Excuse the quality of the image above as in my haste to mail it to my daughter yesterday I forgot to capture a picture - so my daughter snapped it tonight at her place with her cell phone.

This was a great Lo challenge at Sketchy Thursdays 1*07 to help me get one page of a 2 page LO I needed to get done of our daughter.
