SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ FALL COLORS ~ LINDA

Hi Friends!
Welcome to another SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE our hostess is Linda and she is looking for fall colors on our birthday cards!  That is the "topping" for this challenge, if you don't want to use the topping you are always welcome to make any kind of birthday card!


I not only went with fall colors, but I also went with fall images!  Falling leaves, blowing in the wind!
I needed more masculine birthday cards personally and for my stash, this was an easy one to make!
the stamps are GinaK: Haunts & Harvest, Big Birthday (sentiment)
DOX inks, orange, yellow, green
GinaK: ML #2

Along with our fabulous team we have Stephanie from ingeniousinking as our Special Party Guest for the next two months and GerJanne is joining us this time as she was a previous winner.  Please check out all the fun cards with Fall colors!  Hope you join us!


Heart Hugs, friends!

I may be late with this comment as we just blew in from Spain yesterday. I love how you made this lovely colorful wave of fall colors in place to leaves on them. Great design.

Sweet blending. Love the colors that you've used on this. the floating leaves look like they're being blown away by the wind. Great card design, Colleen!

Beautiful card, Colleen! I like how the colours are in the banner rather than colouring the leaves. Very modern!
