Seize the Birthday #284 Ashwini - Use Metallics


Welcome to a new challenge at STB where Ashwini is our lovely hostess.  She would like us to use Metallics on our cards.  Come join us and see all of the awesome cards created by our team.

I used Catherine Pooler new Metallic Gold Ink with Gina K's Wonderfully Made stamp set and a very old PTI stamp set Sketched Shapes.  Sentiment is from PF Ribbons & Balloons.  I struggled a little with this challenge because my norm is colorful flowers.  I finally came up with this card and was happy with it.


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




Jolanda Johnstone is our Special Guest Designer for May.  

Thanks for stopping by.

I love this card and that sentiment die is just amazing. It is fun to come out of our comfort zone and have great results.

Your card is fantastic! I love the sketchy strips (NO I do NOT have that stamp!! how is that possible??) And the fact you did them in metallic is really cool! And of course the embossed butterfly is amazing!

I think you've done a great job on this card, Linda. The metallic gold shine on the card must be looking so classy and elegant! I love the stamps you've chosen to show it off - they fit so well. Wonderful card!
