It is the start of a new year and I am sure that you are glad as I am, to see 2020 gone. I am your host of the first challenge in 2021 and I picked a Snowy Background. Even though I am in Florida and we do not see snow, even in 2020, I like the cards that are made with snow in mind. I love snow, just somewhere else. I am sure that there is a winter birthday person that deserves a special birthday card.
I have several.
If you would rather not make a snowy background you can still enter in the fun.
Just keep it a Birthday Theme.
Here is the card that I had fun making.
Simon Says called, It's You Day. For the snow that she is standing on, I used acrylic paint in white and layered it to look like she is standing in a drift. Love it!
A little closer look at this cutie. It makes me smile.
Ok, it is your turn to make a birthday card with our without a Snowy Background.
You really need to take a look at the Seize the Birthday blog to see what the other team members had done to inspire you.
Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!
What a cutie! I love your snowy scene.

ReplyDeleteI prefer snow being somewhere else too, and yet I live where we most definitely have SNOW every winter! Your card is fabulous - fantastic colouring, great snowy background, and perfect texture for the snow on the ground, too! Great topping choice!
ReplyDeleteAh, the sentiment is just perfect!! And I love that kid - so cute!! Love the effect that the acrylic paint gives - I'm gonna try that myself some day!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable, Barbara! And I love how you created the snow covered ground! The snowy background looks fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteI love this card, Barb! The colourful snowy sky, the contrast of the winter branches, and that gorgeously coloured girl are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - snow is best somewhere else. This card is absolutely amazing - love your rich background and your beautiful colouring. Love it!
