It is time for another challenge this month at Seize the Birthday. I love making Birthday cards as I always have plenty on hand to send out to family and friends.
That is what the toppings are for this challenge.
"PRESENTS"
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can juststick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!
Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
We have a new Surprise Party Quest for the next two months.
Here is my card.
I started with a die cut that I received from a friend. I placed that on a background made with alcohol inks. I did a bunch of them one day when I was pretending to be Jennifer McGuire. Lol This background had blue, pink and yellow inks and I kept that as my pallet. Using the stamp from Power Poppy called Party Time, I stamped the sentiment in StazOn Ink and let it try. Next, I colored the stack of presents and fussy cut them out. The panel on the right was great for shaker elements and I put a single candle on the bottom left.
Don't forget to see what the rest of the team has for your inspiration.
Thanks for stopping in, I enjoy your comments.
Love the background and how you filled the spaces. Are the circles part of the background? How fun to make one little part a shaker. So very much fun.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and really a fun design. I love that you made it a shaker too.
