So Glad You Were Born

 

I am super excited to be here today and also for the next three challenges as the Surprise Party Guest at Seize the Birthday! I am so pleased and honored to have been invited!!! Today's Challenge #253 is Anything Goes Birthday as usual with the optional topping of "Winged Things". You can choose to incorporate the topping or not, your card just has to have a birthday theme. I chose to use the topping for my card.

I so love the Hero Arts Dragonfly Fancy Die. I love the size of it and the detail in it, so I made it the  winged star of my creation. I created a panel of strips in shades of purple, including a couple cut from purple glitter card stock. I added a white heat embossed sentiment strip and my card was complete.

Please head on over to the Seize The Birthday Challenge Blog and see what the Design Team and Surprise Party Guest Elizabeth Stewart of Paper Sweetness (Overall winner to Challenge #252) have created for your inspiration. Come play with us and build up the birthday card stash!

Time Out #216 begins today. It's a Theme Challenge where we are challenged to be Tropical. 

The challenge runs from Thursday, June 16th  to Wednesday, June 29th. We are generously sponsored by Top Flight Stamps. Winner will receive a $25.00 gift voucher to the Top Flight Store.

For my take on tropical, I cut multiple strips in blues and greens from scraps with the Waffle Flower's Slimline Strips Die, glued them on to a 4 x 5.25 piece of card stock and trimmed the edges. I used the Pretty Pink Posh's Jungle Background Stencil with Ink on 3 Fleurette's - Atelier Ink. I cut a circle from Pinkfresh's Mini Slimline Essential Bundle on which I stamped a sentiment from Uniko's Paradise Stamp Set. I stamped and Copic colored some tropical images from Paper Smooches Get Outta Town set and adhered them to the circle die cut.
