For my card, I chose to use my Blender Pens to 'colour in' the butterflies. This cute little butterfly is taken from the Grateful Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set and I love it - it reminds me of the large Swallowtail stamp that retired earlier this year.
Although the stamps are photopolymer and clear, to line the butterflies up perfectly, I decided to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig. It's taken me a while to get to grips with it, but now I find it really useful for designs like this!
The happy birthday sentiment on the front of the card is taken from the Baby Bear stamp set and has been punched out using the Classic Label punch.
I used my Blender Pens to pick up some Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate ink from my ink pads. I 'coloured in' all of the butterflies using these colours before adding a sparklyear finish of Wink of Stella to them.
Top tip - Blender pens are really great and can be used when you don't have the Stampin' Write Marker in the colour you want. You do at the very minimum need to have either the ink pad, or the refill in the colour you want to use.
To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday on the Whisper White inside layer - this sentiment is taken from the Cottage Greetings stamp set.
I hope you've enjoyed my project today - don't forget to place your vote for your top 3 favourite cards by clicking here.

My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK and I have made this birthday card using a sketch by Teneale Williams.
I've used the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper and the lillies from the Remarkable You stamp set.
I have stamped Happy Birthday in Sweet Sugarplum ink using the Stylized Birthday stamp for the inside of the card and also added an edge of torn designer series paper to the top and bottom of the Whisper White layer.
For the front of the card I have added a layer of designer series paper to fit the entire front of the card. I usually leave a border but I really like how this has come out. I then added a small layer of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock before overlapping a layer of Vellum cardstock.
Next I stamped the lillies image onto Whisper White cardstock twice. I used Stampin' Write markers to colour in the stamp - Sweet Sugarplum for the outline of the flower and Old Olive for the stem.
I cut out the flowers using my Paper Snips (I am really not a fan of fussy cutting but let me tell you, these were a dream to cut out!) I adhered one set of flowers straight onto the vellum and then popped up the second set directly over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. This really has added some fabulous dimension to the flowers and I am really pleased with this effect.
To finish the card I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday in Basic Gray using a stamp from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. I cut around the sentiment and used glue dots to adhere it over the top of the stems.
