Birthday card for a friend

Here's another card I've made in the last little while but haven't posted:

It's a birthday card for a dear friend.  I used the Colo(u)r Coach to lead me to a cheerful, but not garish colour combo that I wouldn't have come up with on my own.  I looked up Baja Breeze (because my friend has blue eyes) and it showed me the combo of Baja Breeze, More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler for its "sweet set" combo.

It looked cheerful but muted at the same time (weird, I know) so I used it!  (Except I substituted Riding Hood Red 'cause I have lots of Riding Hood Red paper and I've run out of Cherry Cobbler!  Christmas will do that to you!)

I also used my classy brass template and dry embossed the butterfly and the heart.  It's hard to see in the photo (maybe if you click on it, it will be visible in the larger one) but it made it pop out and it looked great!
