Seize the Birthday #316 - You Favorite Fall Treat

It is time for another super fun challenge at Seize the Birthday. Nancy came up is a really interesting one and I knew what I was going to do immediately! 

Since we recently visited Ireland, we had quite a few of the Irish Coffees with a twist. 

Since I am not fond of whiskey, they offered a Bailey Coffee. I paid attention on how they were made and I think I will be making them here at home. Brings back memories of our travels. 

Of course, you can make a birthday card and enter it as well if you are not into the topping. Remember if you use the topping, you have a chance to be a party guest. 

Here is my card. 

Supplies for this card are:

The Greetery Warm and Wonderful stamp and dies

Pin Fresh nested arch dies

Simon Says Stamp Wreath Greetings ( stamped around the edges of the base)

Wooden Embossing folder by Spellbinder

Inks : Distress Tea Dye, Gina K Whisper and warm Cocoa, Lt spruce and med spruce Sunkissed Coral and Coral reef Soft Stone  Butterscotch and Tangerine Twist. 

Wow that's a lot!

Seize the Birthday Challenge #315 Splish Splash

Shirley is our host for the challenge and she has picked a great subject. Put your thinking caps on. 

This is a fun challenge but if you are not interested in the topping, just make a birthday card.

Here is my card!

I had an inspiration for this card. I set out to make is and I am very happy with the end results, but it was not easy. I envisioned two fish bowls and one fish jumping to the other. Thereby making a Splish Splash. Lol

With the help of my circle dies, I created two fish bowls, one smaller than the other. 

The stamp for the fish is a favorite and an oldy from Stamp in Up called Fishy Friends. 

Colored and fussy cut after stamping greens from GKD Fill it with Flowers. The puddle under the bowl is also GKD Sophie Pig ( do you remember that one?) Never used before!

Clearly Besotted Whale Done, and GKD birthday greetings for the sentiment.
