Welcome to another Seize the Birthday Challenge!
If you would like to join us in a topping option,
it is "white on white".  If you are not a topping
kind of person, then you are welcome to make a birthday card of your choosing!
 


I used some Wendy Vecchi white embossing paste for the chevrons,
then adhered it to a white card base.

Merry Monday # 97

A lovely color combination for this week's challenge over at the
I made my own stencil with the "merry" from PTI Holiday words,
laid it on the paper and then put some Viva Ferro Silver embossing paste over it.
I had to be sure to adhere the two little pieces in the "e"...but then I was all set!
It is really pretty and shiny and has a bit of texture to it.
The Silver Bell is from Lil' Inkers. 
The stars are some silver confetti that I bought at Micheals.
 
I hope you will play along and get ahead of your Christmas stash!!
 
thanks for taking a look!
Heart Hugs,

Stencil Class Day 3 And Day 4

I made this stencil for day 3 not realizing that Day four was DIY stencil day!!
I used my PTI hexagon die and cut it out with a piece of acetate left over from packaging.
I mixed  one drop of lemon tart reinker to a small amount of embossing paste.
The butterfly is a die from a friend...no clue the name brand, it came from the Netherlands!
The leaf is from Turning a New Leaf die cut with vellum.
I added a couple pearls and even colored one with copics.
I really do like the texture that the embossing paste gives to cards!
Have a good week!
Heart Hugs,
Colleen
