Seize the Birthday Challenge #222 - Pastel Colors

Our "Topping" option this time is...



If you are not into using the toppings, just make sure it is a birthday card. 
Joann is our host for this challenge and she has opted for pastel colors.  I do love pastel colors and forget how pretty they can be on a card. 

Here is my card

I got some inspiration for this card from Pinterest. I used the Gina K Designs Master Layouts One dies for the background. The design papers are MFT and also the borderline die used here as the birthday candles. I also improvised the flames using a leaf die from PTI. The little sprigs are a die from Tim Holtz. Embroidery floss for bows completed the look that I wanted. 
Sometimes you don't need a sentiment on the front to know that it is a Birthday card. 


We have a new Surprise Party Guest for the next couple of months.
She is Jenny Martin and you can find her creations HERE

  2. Very creative card. Love the leaf die cut for the candle flame and how you decorated them with the leaf sprig. The background sections are soft and lovely.

  9. What a fabulous design! I love the look of the repeated candles, and the little spring tied up with the string. Gives off a very serene feeling with the pastel colors as well. Gorgeous!
