SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ add GOLD!

Welcome to another Seize the Birthday challenge friends!
TaeEun is our hostess and she asks for us to add some gold to our birthday card!
I decided to add more than a touch...I embossed with gold, used zigs water color and then I die cut the sentiment from PTI gold lux paper...so pretty.
Won't you join us in this challenge?
Just remember it needs to be a birthday card and the topping is adding some gold, but you are always welcome to just make a birthday card!
 
 Please check out all the wonderful inspiration from the design team and our Special Party Guest Jen
See you in the gallery!!
 
Heart Hugs, friends!
