Seize the Birthday, April 21

              It's Thursday, and time for another Seize the Birthday Challenge
 I would like to welcome our surprise quest for the Months on April and May...... Patti  you can check out her blog here. stationeryStyles blog

                                   
 There are no toppings for this challenge. 

As always, the only real requirement for playing along is to have a birthday theme.  All the details for playing along and the rest of the gorgeous design team creations are on the blog.  

Here is my example

I needed a Birthday card for my husband who has an April Birthday.  I have trouble with masculine cards so I got inspiration from Pinterest. 

Here is what I used:
Gina K Design card stock in Kraft
Corrugated neutrals, silver foil and blue and silver glitter paper
DieNamics Stitched Stars die
PaperTrey Ink Give Me a Hand stamp ( sentiment)
Circle die cut 
Ribbon from my stash and splatters for blue watercolor. 

 Hope you have time to join in the challenge.  Check out what the other designers have done at Seize the Birthday

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.
