Birthday Explosion box with Basic Grey Plumeria

I have two cards in a box for you today.  Similar but different.  I used the same papers, sentiment and card stock.  I used some different punches and skewed the color themes within the same collection.  I have two very good friends whose birthdays are very close and the same year even!  I think I am drawn to them for a reason!  So Happy Birthday to two of my oldest and dearest friends in the later half of my life.

I mounted the butterflies on acetate so they look more like that are flying.

And the second card is more oranges with hexes.

Ingredients:

Basic Grey Plumeria 6x6 papers

misc bling and pearls

Stampin Up Label Something sentiment

Stampin Up punches

Creative Memories hex punch

Ek Success Butterfly punch

acetate

misc card stock
