Seize the Birthday ~ OFF the Edge!

We have another Seize the Birthday Challenge with JoAnn as our hostess and she wants to see images "OFF THE EDGE".  I liked this one a lot and thought it was fun to stamp off the edge. 
 I used watercolor paper and did a touch of watercoloring on the leaves...a very simple card with a little bit of stamping off to give it added dimension.
There are some very clever cards to inspire you with this challenge!  Please join us at Seize the Birthday and make a birthday card, if you don't want to go along with the "topping"  then any kind of BIRTHDAY card is okay to enter!

Heart Hugs, friends!

Don't you just LOVE the Autumn Sketches set??!! It will probably be one of my all time favorite stamp sets! Your card is just lovely Colleen and perfect for the off the edge challenge!! Hope you've been doing well? Weather has been cold and snowy this week so I've just been hunkering down and making tags for the 25 Days of Christmas that Tracey does...fun, fun, FUN!! :0)
