Enjoy It

I've been working on so many fall holiday projects lately, that I needed to ground myself and refresh my brain with just a ordinary birthday card.  Like hitting the reset button on my creativity.  J

Some Details:

• It all started with this gorgeous vintage dahlias image.  The colors are so rich!  So I guess even though I was trying to purposely avoid it, there is a touch of fall in this card after all.

• The seam binding was hand-dyed with Distress Stains and Ink.  I love dying seam binding...you can make it just the right color. 

• "Enjoy It." was a one line stamp that I stamped onto two separate punched labels.  The strategically placed butterfly not only adds a nice accent, but also hides a tiny boo-boo.  J
