Seize the Birthday #325 - Nancy - Primarily Pink

My card for our next challenge on STB is hosted by our fabulous leader, Nancy.  She would like us to make a card using primarily pink on it.  I had this background on my desk and decided that this would work. (Love when that happens)

I used Gina K's Contemporary Floral with Gina's inks and iridescent gems.  Sentiment is Gina's Cheers to Another Year.

Seize the Birthday #323 Jules - Add A Tag

Our second STB challenge of March is to add a tag onto your card.  I really struggled with this card.  I had the tag done about one or two weeks ago, but it sat on my desk as I was trying to figure out the rest of the card and finally was able to come up with this one.  

For the tag I used PTI, Balloon Bash, & Modern Background stencil.

SSS Butterfly Blossoms

Gina K. inks Tag Trio for the tag and Layered Confetti for the larger background.

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

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

STB-#322 March 12th-JoAnn - Use Green as your Main Color

The first challenge in March for STB is hosted by JoAnn, and she would like us to Use Green as the Main Color.  This fits in with St. Patrick's Day if you have any birthdays around the 17th.  Come join in the fun and get some birthday cards made for your stash.  The DTs have lots of inspiration for you.

I used a very old PTI stamp set, Turning a New Leaf to make this background with Gina K's greens.

I used Gina's ML #2 & 3 and Elegant Thoughts for the Sentiment.

And Gina's Pearl Mix Embellishments.
