Seize the Birthday - Monocromatic

Welcome to Seize the Birthday Challenge for November and the last challenge for us this year.  Remember that we take the month of December off.  This year has gone so fast, can't believe all of the things that has happened and that I have done.  Some new experiences and leanings.

But,  on with this challenge and Yes, we have a topping.

Our "Toppings" option this time is...
Monocromatic 
I love doing monochromatic cards and usually think of blue.  Not sure why I do that, but for this challenge, I thought blue or more turquoise.  
Here is my card for your inspiration.
 I heat embossed this stamp called Bold and Blooming from Gina K Designs, in clear embossing powder on a panel of Ocean Mist Card stock.  Next I colored it with Copic marker BG01.  At this point, I didn't like what I had done, so I got out my Prismacolor pencils, and colored with the blue. Now I got something. The sentiment is from the same stamp set using GKD Ocean Mist ink. Adding the matching ribbon and jewels to the panel gave it some bling.  It was then adhered to a base of the same card stock.  I finished the inside with a little more ribbon. 

We have a  Surprise Party Guest too.  Her name is Becca Cruger and you can see her blog here

Hope that you play along with us for this challenge.  I look forward to your creations each time and love to see them.  Thanks for stopping by and please check out what the other designers have done at 

See you all next year!
