Seize the Birthday Challenge #310 Use your favorite color

JoAnn is our hostess for this challenge and as you see the theme is 

Use your Favorite color. 

My favorite color as long as I remember has been blue, but for this challenge 

I wanted to change it up a bit and I used teal. 

I used a lot of supplies for this card. It is a good thing that I have a lot of supplies! 

Let's start with Pink Fresh Twisted Pattern die. 

I just added some stitched lines on that. 

For the background,  I took out my Paper trey Ink Stencil called Open Your Heart 

and used Distress oxide ink called Speckled Egg for the falling hearts. 

The flowers, sentiment and leaves are from Gina K Designs 

stamp and die called Delicate Flowers. 

My  DieNamics die hearts was used the hold the sentiment. A few added gold pearls form GKD. 

Copic markers are BG72, 74 and 78

along with G 94 and 99

If you are not doing the topping, make sure that it is a birthday theme.

Double D Challenge - For the Kiddos

Welcome to a new challenge at Double D. Boy, this one was a hard challenge for me I have to admit. I didn't have any of these Disney characters in my stash. Recently there have been some Spellbinders dies out there that would fit, but I did this post way before that. If I am honest, this is the second card that I made for this challenge.  I hope that you just have fun with this challenge, as that is the way that I chose to go. 

Here is the inspiration board for you. 

The prize for a random winner. 

My card was just a kiddo card. I have a granddaughter that will love this one

 I could even give it to my daughter in law. 

Supplies for this card are pretty simple"

My Favorite Things stamp and die called New Best Friends Design paper from MFT

Penny Black die, curvature

Copic markers to color. 

Boy, now that MFT has gone out of business, I realize the I will really miss them,

 but cherish the supplies that I have. 

I can't wait to see what you do for this challenge, just have fun and make a card.

Seize the Birthday Challenge #309 - Food and/or Drink

Glenda is the host for this next two weeks and she has suggested that our challenge be 

Food and Drink! 

If you are not interested in the topping, you can do a birthday theme. 

Then if course, anything goes. 

This is my example for you. 

No decision here, I went with drink as I had a die set that I was itching to use.

MFT has a bunch of dies and I used most of them.

Long stemware and Bar Basics for starters. Then added Drink Decor and Christmas Garnish and for the sentiment, Raise a Glass stamp from MFT. Now that they are going out of business, I really cherish this dies even more.
