Celebrate

 It's time for a new challenge at Festive Friday where every challenge is an inspiration list based on a selected holiday/festivity from the traditional to the unusual. Challenge projects must include at least three items from the festivity inspiration list. Your project does not have to go with the challenge theme. You can just use 3 or more items from the inspo list for your creation.

Today's festivities are inspired by the celebration of our 100th challenge. Woot!!! Let's get this party started!. The challenge starts today and runs through January 17th.

I like to create a card for our challenge that goes with the celebration theme. This one was easy - a birthday celebration. I dug though my stash and pulled out some festive supplies and went to work on creating my card. The card base and cake stand are made with SU's brushed gold card stock that I have had forever. I embossed the cake stand with the first (gold) embossing powder that I bought about a gazillion years ago. I remember seeing a demo of heat embossing in a paper craft store and being in awe of the magic when the stamped image was heated. The background is Team Tie Die Patterned Paper from Honey Bee. The cake stand and cake images are from Reverse Confetti, and the streamers are from The Greetery. I finished it up with a few sequins and a Waffle Flower sentiment cut from black mirror card stock.

I used celebration, cake, gold, sequins and patterned papers from the inspo list.

Come play with us! Remember that your project does not have to go with the challenge theme. You can just use 3 or more items from the inspo list for your creation!
