SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~STRIPES

Welcome to another SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!!
Linda is our hostess for this challenge and she asking to see "STRIPES"
on our birthday card!!


I colored up the SSS:  Mix & Match Butterfly Duo with copics and cut it out (with dies)
 
After coloring on some paper with two of the same copics pens, I cut the strips out using a Mama Elephant Strip Die and glued the strips at an angle.
Then I adhered the butterfly by gluing the bottom half of the butterfly and using dimensional tape on the upper wings.

So there you have my card using stripes!
I hope you will join us in the challenge.
Remember if you don't want to use the topping challenge, then you are welcome to make nay kind of a birthday card!  I will look for you in the gallery!

We have a friend joining us who has won the honor of being our Guest because her card  was chosen as the winner of a previous challenge!
Karen can be found HERE 
and our overall winner is Helen, she can be found HERE




                                                                                          
Heart Hugs, friends!

Great way to make coordinating stripes, Colleen, and I love that you placed them at a slight angle.
