SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ REPETITIVE DIE CUT BACKGROUND!

HELLO FRIENDS!
Our new SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY challenge is brought to us by our awesome leader, Nancy!
She is asking us to use die cuts repeatedly for the background on our birthday card.
As the logo below will say, it is repetitive die cut.
I hope you will play along and have fun with this unique challenge we have not done before!
 
I am using a Sunny Studios stamp and die set called Elegant Leaves.  Some of the leaves are outline, but a couple are solid images.  I took a sponge dauber and added two colors to each leaf.  I cut them and added them to the background of my card. My sentiment is from PTI Autumn Hills.
I used Gina K  ML #2 and also the postage die is from ML #4, I just added a frame of red behind the postage die.
Thanks Nancy for a fun challenge!
Friends, please check out the inspiration from our design team our Special Party Guest is Stephanie from ingeniousinking.
 







Heart Hugs, friends!
