Seashells

 

I am a Jersey Girl, I am a beach girl. I really wanted to play this challenge at Just us Girls.

When I saw this challenge, I knew immediately that I had to play, and that I would use this NBUS cling rubber stamp set from Tim Holtz. The packaging has this awesome background that was very similar to a background that I had made a while ago - I can't even remember the technique, but I made many with it. I had the design in mind right away. I knew it would be a mini slimline. I used Prismacolor Pencils, which is not a strong suit for me. I am inspired to expand my coloring horizons by my dear friend Nonni, who is an incredible color artist. I am very pleased with the outcome, and so happy to join this JUGS challenge and use my NBUS supplies. I did not add a sentiment to the front, as it is quite busy enough. When I send it, I will figure out a sentiment for the inside.

Hello! Seize The Birthday Challenge #254 starts today.  It is all birthday all the time, with an optional twist. This time, the twist is candles.

I am so happy to be back as Surprise Party Guest for another great challenge!

For this one, I chose to make a mini slimline card featuring the Spellbinders Birthday Candle Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Glimmer Rainbow Confetti Hot Foil. I LOVE the way it came out, but I do not love how difficult it is to photograph this awesome effect and get it right. No matter what I did with the card standing up, I could not get the color to come through. So I took some pictures of the card as I turned it in the light, and you can at least see the colorful foiled effect in the closeup photos. It really looks fabulous IRL.

Please head over to the Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us and have fun building up your birthday card stash!
