You are in the right place! This is the Seize the Birthday Challenge! It does look like my post from yesterday, but this is a different one. It has the same theme and my thought was that I can make a card that looks very different with the same colors. So here I go.
Colleen is our host and this was her pick of colors.
Remember if you are not a toppings crafter, you can just make a birthday card.
Here is the one I did for this challenge.
I went searching in my bits box and up popped this background that I did some time ago after listening to a Jennifer McGuire video. I used a die from MFT called Snow Drift and double-sided tape and glitter. I know it is called snow drift, but in this case, I think it looks like waves and water. I went with that theme for my card.
Going waaaaay back to an old Stampin Up stamp set called Fishy Friends, I stamped and hot embossed the fish and the starfish from that set. Then I water-colored them.
That sentiment is an old Gina K Duo, do you remember those red rubber ones?

ReplyDeleteReally fun card. Love your glittery waves and cute fish. I thought the waves were cut from glitter paper. You did a great job with the glitter and double sided tape.

ReplyDeleteClever idea to use the snow drift as waves - it looks just right for these colors. Love the look of the glitter; must be so shimmery irl! The fish look cute as well. Great card, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteYour glittery water is absolutely brilliant (and perfect for these colours)! What a great idea as a background for your fun elements.
