Play Date Cafe for a birthday

The Play Date Cafe color challenge is fairly new to me...ok, really new: it's the first time I've played along!

Here are the featured colors:

Lovely! I see Baja Breeze (one of my all-time favorite colors), plus goldy-kraft and silver-grey. Here's what I came up with:

I used some shimmery golden-tan cs for my base, with a stamped strip of baja breeze and some going grey butterflies on this card, which is for my aunt -- her birthday and anniversary are the same day, so I struggle to make a dual-duty card every year. The sentiment strip, full of "celebrate" and related words, is perfect!

I die-cut and embossed the butterflies before giving them a bit of glimmer, which you can see much better here:

A little stitching here and there rounds out this simple (but surprisingly elegant {for me}) card. Oh, and I swear those butterflies are grey -- they look tan on my monitor, though -- hope it's better for you!

Hope you're having a lovely day :)
