Barb is our host for the STB Challenge this time around and she would like to see a banner on our cards. Build up your birthday stash by joining us in the challenge.  Come see all of the inspiration by all of the team designers.

I used PTI's Layered Banner Banter with PTI's Patterned paper, Miscellaneous Scalloped frame that I found in my stash.  The butterflies are PF Small Butterflies stenciled with Gina K's ink.  The sentiment is also Gina's Big Birthday stamp set, and her Petite Flourish EF.   PF Gems. 

Our "Topping" option this time is...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Color Hues #65

Another card for the new challenge at Color Hues.  Such a pretty combination.

I used Gina K's Radiant Rose Layering Bundle, with the Poly Glaze Sheets foiled in Gold, for both the roses and the background.  Master Layouts 1 & 11 and Gina's Ink.  Absolutely love this bundle because there are so many ways to use it.

Color Hues #64

It's very hard to post gate cards.  This is a technique I watched on Jennifer McGuire's Blog.  I can never get the gate cards to stay closed even with a little tape holding it.  The gate card was Jennifer's but the roses technique was from Gina K.  It was making the roses glow.

This is a card for Color Hues using

I used Gina K's Radiant Roses Layering Bundle, Lattice EF, MFT Brick 
Wall with Gina's & CP Inks.
