Seize the Birthday #272 Add a Sky


Vicki was thinking of me when she said, Add a sky for this challenge. I love making a sky and added one to this card.

If you are not a toppings kind of crafter, just make sure that it is a 
birthday card

This is my second card for this challenge. 

It's a long story, but I will tell you all about it. 


We spend our winters in Florida. We will be leaving in a few days. That means that  Ineed to pack up some of my supplies as I do have a craft room in the South. I call it the SCR. I can't buy two of every stamp and die that I own, so I take what I think I will need for the next seven months and just make do with what I have. 

That means that I have placed all of my Altenew stamps and dies in my extra suitcase. It weighs 36 pounds and I can hardly lift it.  No problem because Altenew provides a digital image that is free for downloading and coloring. That is what I did for this card as now I have some time to make a card. 

This image is colored with Copic markers as close to the colors for this inspiration challenge.

In honor of World Card making day, I am entering this card in the 

Pink Fresh Challenge, anything goes!


And the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Stencil fun. 


What fun it was to pull out my Pink Fresh stamps, stencil and dies to make this card. 
The set from Pink Fresh is called Miss You Smile. It has so many sentiments that can be used. It is a large stamp and can be used for a slimline card.
 I only used part of the stamp here. 

The stencils are a quick way to color and get dimension, 
but I had to add some of my Copic markers as well.  
My embossing folder is from Spellbinders called Beveled Diamonds.
Then I used another die and stamp from Pink Fresh called Lush Greenery. 
I loved the single word die used here. 
Finished with Nuovo drops here and there. 
Don't you love a matching envelope? I do! 




A close look at the single word die. 
Inks use for this card are:
Gina K Tangerine Twist, Coral Reef, light Spruce, Medium Spruce.
Altenew Honey Drizzle and Caramel Toffee
