For this card I used Butterflies by Delicious Doodles, there are three butterflies in the set and I used them all. Thought I would try to make a retro card so chose to use only four colours plus black. I did have some butterflies on the 13 which were cut with Cherry Lyns Mimi butterflies using Funky Foam, worked a treat but too much going on with the card and they distracted from the background so I decided to tuck them away for another day. I cut the 13 with my die cutter and embossed it with an Embossalicious Folder then edged with Metallic Pink Promarker. The 13 was then attached with foam tape. Not a complicated card but rather appealing for a 13 year old I think. So how to link this to lucky/unlucky 13th, well I guess you feel rather lucky when you become a teenager, all grown up etc. but alas in reality still a kid and treated like a kid so maybe not so lucky lol.

Wow, that's some incredible backing paper - the butterflies are so beautiful and how kind of Terri to allow you to 'adapt' her wonderful work. I bet you had fun choosing the colours for the butterflies. The embossed '13' is just right - a thirteen year old really wants to have the fact that she's become a teenager emphasized. Her poor parents - they'll have this card waved in front of them whenever they say 'No' to their darling on the grounds of her age. :-) Lovely birthday card xx
