Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!
Our "Toppings" option this time is...
Just remember to keep it a birthday card.
Surprise Party Guest
Her name is Lin and HERE is her blog Lin's Craft Corner.
Here is the card I made for your inspiration.
On a base of watercolor paper, I placed a die cut from Penny Black called Antique Frames. Ove the top of that, I stenciled a Quilted design from Kaiser Craft. Using the stamp and die from Gina K Designs, I watercolored the flowers and placed them on the front. I was channeling my best Karen Hightower who designs for Gina K and placed a black gingham bow there. If you know Karen, she does amazing cards with these great bows. Lastly, I place some Neuvo drops on the front.
I will be so excited to see what you will be doing for this challenge. Be sure to check out the other designers on this amazing team at Seize the Birthday.
