Seize the Birthday #259 - Alcohol

Shirley is the host for this challenge.  She picked a topping that was a challenge for me.  

The challenge is not drinking alcohol, but making alcohol backgrounds. 

Of course, she said it could use inks or the drink too. I hope you at least try a topping! 

                                                  

Here are some of my out takes. I tried watercolor paper and glossy paper and finally changed up the stamp that I was using. That did the trick and I got one to use after 6 tries. 

I hope you are more successful. 

Here is my card. 

So hard to get the silver to photograph. 

After watching Jennifer make her alcohol backgrounds, I did mine with these inks and a homemade  felt pad. It worked. 

The  other supplies are: The Greetery Rubber background stamp Fond of Folidge

Sieze the Birthday #251 Ashwini-Many of Something

                                                         

It is November I can't believe that we are getting close to the end of the year and November is the last month that Seize the Birthday Challenge posts.  We take the month of December off to refresh! 

This month Ashwini is the host and she has chosen the topping, Many of Something. You don't want to miss this one. Get out your crafty supplies and play along with us. 

                                                         Here is my inspiration for you. 

    My background has many of these things. Not sure what they are. Balloons or Flowers, You decide. 

I used Simon Says background stamp ( Flora) and die cut ( Happy Birthday) as you see in the picture. 

The technique that I did on the background is heat embossing and then some watercolor over the top. It was a day when I made many backgrounds that I could use later. This one came in very handy. The sentiment is one that you will see many times on my cards as it is easy and I love it. Some gold foil strips on the side and bling from my stash complete this card. 

And if you are not into toppings, just make sure that it is a Birthday card.
