SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ GREEN + ANOTHER COLOR

Hi Friends!

This challenge at Seize the Birthday is brought to us by Nancy!

She is looking for the color GREEN and one other color on your BIRTHDAY CARD!


This is an MFT stamp called Happy Birthday Candles!

I inked it up with 4 different shades of green starting with the lightest at the bottom of the candle and worked up to a darker green at the top.  This gives it a nice ombre effect.

My second color is the yellow flame!

The sentiment is actually a die from SSS: Birthday wishes, and it comes with a background die which I chose to use vellum so you could still see the candles!

I hope you are inspired by all the awesome cards over at the STB blog and will visit the other designers and our special Party Guest Jolanda: https://jolandasinquespotstudio.com/ and Melanie: https://www.cardsbymelanie.com/2024/04/11/seize-the-birthday-281/ for this Challenge !

See you in the gallery!


 

Heart Hugs, friends!
