Seize the Birthday ~ Hello Sunshine

Welcome friends to another Seize the Birthday Challenge.
The challenge is "SUNSHINE"  I guess you can interpret that any way you want and make a BIRTHDAY CARD FOR THIS CHALLENGE!

I used the sunshine stencil from Tim Holtz and blended three different yellow oxide inks, when it was dry, I laid the stencil back over it and used Golden glossy gel medium to achieve the awesome shine on this card!  It does take a bit longer to dry, but worth the wait!



I will look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
Have fun with this sunshine!
And before you go, please welcome SUE who is our special party guest for the next two months!

Heart Hugs, friends!
