Seize the Birthday #274 Barbara - Fall Items


For this week's challenge at STB, Barbara would like us to use Fall Items on our cards.  Please come and see all the inspiration from Barbara and the rest of our team and play along.

I used a stencil, Crisp Autumn Leaves with Gina K's inks. ML #1 & 3 for the Circle, Big Birthday for the sentiment.
An oldie PTI stamp set, Autumn Pumpkins, colored with Copics and a glitter pen.  Hard to see in photo but looks great in person.

stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!

Color Hues #75 - Guest Designer



I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for the challenge at Color Hues this time around.  Julie B. is our host and has chosen light blue and purple.  Come see all of the inspiration from the team and join in their challenge.
I struggled a little bit with the blue portion of these colors.  Blue is not usually one of my go to colors and I don't seem to have a good light blue ink. But after a couple of tries, I was able to come up with this card and was happy with it.
This is one of my older Pinkfresh sets, Blooming Branch, stamp, stencil and die set.
Using Gina K's inks, Delicate Basket, Poly Glaze with silver foil and Gina K., So Many Sentiments.
Gina K. Pearl Mix.
The shine is prettier in real life.

Seize the Birthday #271 Shirley Hot Pink & Lime



Shirley is our host for our October challenge on STB and she would like us to make a card with hot pink and lime.  Come look at the inspiration from our DT's and join us to create a stash of birthday cards.
 I used Gina K's Ornamental Fan Stencil Mates foiled in gold and then stenciled in Key Lime ink
The stamp set is also Gina's, You Give me Butterflies, stamp, stencil & dies. Passionate Pink is ink.
Master Layout #1.
Also look closely, I finally have my watermark back and it was as simple as installing the Apps on Microsoft 365 for Power Pt, Excel, Word etc.  I assumed since it was showing on my computer that it was already installed, but there was an area that said to install Apps.  I did and everything showed up where it was supposed to be.  Yahoo!!!

Our "Topping" option this time is...
