Monochromatic yellow is the topping option that we have for you with the latest challenge at Seize the Birthday.

I of course took the challenge and here is what I came up with. I used some water colour paints to create my yellow background.

Paper: SU, Fancy Pants

Ink: Versafine

Stamp: Casual Fridays

Chipboard: Crate

Sequins: Paper Bakery

Other: paint, twine, button, shimmer sprits

 

So I hope you will join us at Seize the Birthday and either create an anything goes birthday card or take the challenge and use the topping option!!!

 

Faux or Real

Good morning everyone! It's time for another challenge at Seize the Birthday.

This week we have have an option of adding a topping which is to use stitching.....Faux or Real!

I love to use my sewing machine on my projects so I pulled out some gold thread to stitch around the top panel of my card.

Cardstock: SU, Bazzill, Neenah

Stamp: Cas-ual Friday

Other: Versamark, emb. powder,sequins, Gelatos

 

Water colour is a trend in paper crafting right now so on my scrap weekend I pulled out my Gelatos (which I had yet to do) and had my first try at water colouring! I like it and I know I will play some more with this technique.

I am entering my card in Virginia's View Challenge.

I hope I see your card over at Seize the Birthday. I wonder if you will use any stitching....faux or real!!

Scraplift contest

While Sarah Hill, the owner of Paper Bakery was away at CHA the DT had a few scrappy contests going on amongst ourselves.

One of the contests was to scraplift one of our fellow DT members. I chose to lift one of Sarah Webbs cards. It is the second card that you will find in her blog post here.

Here is my take on it.

The journal card that I stamped my sentiment on was from a big box of assorted Project Life cards by Becky Fleck that I got for an awesome price at Michaels and even though I'm not doing Project Life these cards will come in so handy for many cards and layouts.
