Jules is the hostess for the 279th Challenge and she has chosen a super topping.
If you are not into the toppings, just make sure that it is a birthday theme.
If you use our topping, you have a chance to be a guest designer.
I love to see what you can do with this topping.
Of course, you can just make a birthday card too. 
My Card
This card happened to be a happy surprise! I had some previous fun images that I was trying out new techniques. There they were on laying on my desk and that is how card and tag started.
Using a reverse embossing technique on this Altenew Zero Waste Flowery Pattern embossing folder. I then die cut oval. I tossed it and it landed on this negative foiled piece from Gina K Thick Brish stencil. It is adhered to a black card base.
The tag is also using the reverse stencil technique.
Here is the technique that I was trying.
You never know here the inspiration will come from.
