My girls wore me out yesterday....LOL...I had to recuperate today!!! Tonight I finally felt like making a card!!!
Here is my idea.......
I used the beautiful ColorQ41 for my inspiration. These colors are so dramatic and fun....I just had to create a girly birthday card with it!!! I asked my oldest daughters which Stamp Sets she would like to see on my card and she chose two of my favorite PTI Sets ~ Turning A New Leaf and Butterfly Dreams.
The Design Paper in the BG is from my SU stash....I think it was in the past Mini Brochure?!?
I added a Large Black Scallop Border, some PTI Ribbon and some Silver Pearls. Before I forget... I stroked my Basic Gray Ink Pad over the entire leaf image...I love that look!!! You can accomplish this look by stoking your pad in ONLY ONE direction!!! Try it...!!!

Super wowness!!! This card is all types of gorgeous!!!
GORGEOUS!! Just love how you've used the colours. I continue to laugh because I was typing up a post for Saturday and in it I said "whenever you reeeeeally want a set you seem to see it everywhere" - well, you're included in that tally and I'm already up to three blogs that have used it in one day!! I WILL get that PTI leaf set soon!!!
Oh soooo beautiful, Silke!
This is a beautiful card! Thanks for playing the CQC!
Gorgeous, Silke! I love how you inked up your leaf stamp!!!
This is absolutely stunning! Fabulous take on the colour challenge. I LOVE the stroking look on the leaves - I've never seen it before but now I'll have to try it!
Love how you used the colors and LOVE the butterflies!
This is beautiful, Silke!!

Absolutely gorgeous, Silke! I love, love the streaky leaves...can't wait to try it. Thanks for the idea!
You are right the leaves look fantastic.. Love this Silke...
Awesome card. So beautiful.
Genial schön schaut die aus...die Fraben sind himmlisch meine Liebe...Schönes WE!
Gorgeous!! Love this card. Can you believe I don't own either of these sets? They're both on my wishlist though. I love the using this 'swiping' technique with solid images. Do you have Damask Designs by PTI? Try it with the largest stamp. You'll love it.
What a pretty look to those leaves, and I happen to have this set...thanks for the idea,Silke!!
What a fantastic effect on the leaves Silke!!! Your daughter obviously has very good taste in stamps!! Love it! :)
this card is just WOW.
Incredible! Love your swiping technique...must try!
Absolutely gorgeous Silke!!
Silke, your card is so fabulous and so dramatic.....I just LOVE it!!! Those butterflies are wonderful...you know I love me some butterflies ;D. Hugs, Sabrina
Fabulous card - love the colors. And what a clever trick about pulling ink in one direction on the leaves - this is way cool!
