SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ "CELEBRATE" is the code word!

Welcome to another challenge at Seize the Birthday!  Our challenge brought to us by our wonderful leader, Nancy, is to use the word "CELEBRATE" on our birthday card.  If you don't want to use the topping, you are always welcome to make any kind of card as long as it is a birthday card!


For this challenge I used the GinaK Wishful Florals, stamps, stencils and dies,  I already had my soft stone paper cut with an arch from The Greetery and embossed with an EF.

The "CELEBRATE" word die and shadow die are from SSS:  Boho Celebrate!

The floral images were foiled with GinaK  Deco foil, it has a very glittery silver shine to it, the picture is picking up some teal on the stamens, not sure where that color is from, but it is all silver.  I cut the word die from a piece of silver glitter paper as well and mounted it on a piece of vellum.  I think this is so pretty and what a beautiful card to celebrate a big birthday!

We have wonderful inspiration for you at the home page, including a card from our Guest Designer, Karen, you can find her here!

Thanks for joining us and I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!



Heart Hugs, friends!

Very pretty, Colleen! I love the colors of your florals in the two tones of purple and I can see all the sparkle you have added too. I need to remember to use more frames on my cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
