Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes

This is the second challenge in the month of August, it is for two weeks, that means there will be another one this month. What fun, three times to create for us this month.  

Here is my card, it is fun to just go with anything that you that you want.
 I got a new embossing folder and it was what I started with for this card.  It is the Sizzix 3-D Botanical.  After embossing it, I ran a Tourquise Sea ink pad over it.  Then die cut some flowers and leaves from the Stamp up Botanical Builder in Vellum and silver papers.
 The sentiment is from two different sets, GKD Stately Flowers and MFT Adorable Elephants. Heat embossed on a vellum tag.  I added a matching envelope from GKD and finished the inside too.  I should have taken a picture of that. I had extra flowers and leaves that I didn't want to waste.  

Be sure to check out the other design team inspirations for you too at Seize the Birthday.

  6. I love the vellum tag combined with the beautiful die cuts! And the whisper of colour on the embossed background. If I didn't already have a card made for my MIL's birthday next week, I would definitely CASE this - you've used her favourite colour! Maybe next year. (She's only turning 96...)
