Hello! Seize The Birthday Challenge #255 starts today. It is all birthday all the time, with an optional twist. This time, the twist is to use your initials.I m so pleased and proud to be the Surprize Party Guest for this and the next challenge. I love being a part of this celebratory fun!!
My initials are SL. I do not have a middle initial. When contemplating what I would use for this twist, I ran across Altenew's Stargazer Lily Build-A-Flower Stamp Set, and that was it. S(Stargazer) and L(Lily). Perfect!

Stephanie, your Stargazer Lily is so beautiful and perfect for the initial challenge. Thanks for being our Surprise Party Guest this month.
ReplyDeleteWell your initials led you to a beautiful image. I love how you used the vellum background, one of those forgotten things in my stash. I was happy to see I'd be joining you again, even if briefly this time!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, this is stunning and so perfect for your initials. the dotted vellum brings a lot of interest to your design as well as the scalloped rectangle! I love it! Thanks for being such a wonderful Special Party Guest at STB!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I know the back story on how this card came together and it makes me smile. It certainly is a gorgeous card and I am so glad you remembered what you were going to do with your initials. Love the use of Vellum and of course the floral. Awesome job and perseverance! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow! This card is super fabulous and that was before I knew that you included both of your initials in one stamp and die. So artistic and easy on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeousness! Love the flower with the gray background -- lovely card.
