Seize the Birthday August, Anything Goes

Boy our summer has been busy and I have lots of summer birthdays in my family.  I needed to make a lot for August.  I was happy to make this one for the Anything Goes Challenge.  
This card was pretty easy to make quickly.  I used some watercolor paper and a die from Penny Black called Bashful. I die cut a circle and then put foam tape on the frame that was made after cutting the circle.  After stamping some leaves and sponging the green, I put the flower die on the circle.  The sentiment is a Simon Says Die.  This card is a 5 1/2 square card.

Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest.  I hope you will be inspired and come play along with us.

We have a surprise party Guest for the months of August and September.  Please welcome Monika Reeck.  You can see her designs here. http://creativewithmonika.blogspot.

  12. Gorgeous card Barbara, and I love the dimension. August is also my busiest month of the year for birthdays too! Including my two daughters, my mum and my mother-in-law among others.
