Hello, This is Barbara and I chose this topping for the last challenge of 2022! I think you will have fun with it. Just look back on all of the posts that we have done, pick out a card that you like and make one similar or just like it. Your choice for this one. I would love to see you all do the toppings, but of course, it is not necessary.
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!
This is Designer Cathy's card that you may have seen recently and remembered. It is from August 2022.
I often need a more masculine birthday card and this was the one that caught my eye. Isn't it gorgeous and still masculine? I set about making one like Cathy's. But changed it up a bit, that is how I roll. 
I had a strip of the embossed panel from another card and rubbed gold over it. Then added the gold star and sentiment. ( Yes it is the one that you see often on my cards) Put that on a white panel and then a navy card base. It was done!
