Hi friends, thanks for stopping by and checking out the Seize the Birthday Challenge!
Lindsey is our hostess and the topping is using our scraps!
If you do NOT want to use the topping, you are welcome to make any kind of BIRTHDAY card!
I am positive I am NOT alone in this, I have so many boxes of scraps that I cut or start coloring or even almost put together, but get easily sidetracked and then it gets cleaned up and goes into the box of unused 'stuff'. I looked through the box first when the topping was "USE YOUR SCRAPS"!
I could make LOTS of cards from the scrap box!
About a month ago I made some backgrounds using shaving foam and I even had the image all cut and colored as well, so it went together pretty quickly!
I was pretty surprised that the colors were okay together!
My image is from Stamping Village designed by Studio Katia.

Very pretty Colleen. Love your shaving cream background. They are so fun to make (and messy. Ha!)
That background is absolutely gorgeous! And you're right, you'd think you'd coloured the image specifically to go with it. Terrific card! And glad to know I'm not the only one with an overflow of scraps. ;)
I would love to be looking at your scrap box. This is absolutely fantastic and a great way to use that shaving cream technique. I just went through my scrap box and made cards of what I could scrap out. So I have little to make for this challenge.
I'm always amazed when I see your marbled paper with the gorgeous colors! It makes me want to try that again. It's a perfect match with this sweet image!
Pretty marbled paper Colleen! What fun you must have had making these. Always great when you can pull out some scraps and create a card in no time! LOVE this challenge! xx
Yes, lots of scraps to make cards with. Love your card, Colleen, the marbled paper is beautiful! Take care and happy weekend.
Excellent shaving cream background! Can I say, every time I try this technique I get MUD :)
Your shaving cream background looks stunning Colleen, not tried that technique, such pretty marbled colours and the image is a perfect match, gorgeous card, Cathy x
Beautiful card with a fabulous background! I had no idea this technique existed. Need to try this out. Thanks for sharing!
That is the best shaving cream background I've ever seen, Col! So many gorgeous colors and your inside panel goes perfectly with it!! Stunning! Keep safe! Let's zoom soon! Hugs, Darnell
Hubby and I love to marbleize! Colleen, Your background came out fabulous! This technique makes great Easter eggs too! Pretty card!
I do agree - the pieces look amazing together! Lucky you to have everything ready from your scrap stash - guess you just needed glue!! :D I'm particularly loving that background - so fabulous, it would go with any color and be just as beautiful!
The marbling effect achieved using the shaving foam looks gorgeous and goes well with the colors of the gift box as you said! Great CAS card. Colleen!
I love that vibrant shaving foam panel, Colleen! Great background for your gift box image.
I have sooo many scraps too! Love that shaving foam panel - it's something I've never tried. Fabulous card.
