Seize the Birthday #253 - Winged Things

 Happy New Year

Welcome back 

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday with family and friends.  Or should I say survived another Holiday. Lol...

Our challenge at STB this month is hosted by Cathy, and she would like us to include Winged Things on our cards.  I hope you'll join us.  Come see the amazing cards by our DT's for inspiration.

Of course, my favorite winged things are butterflies.  I had a sheet of Alcohol Inks, in my stash, in one of my favorite colors and decided to die cut some butterflies from Rubberneck's Butterflies Are Free Stramp and Die set.

The Oval and card are from Gina K.'s Master Layout #1 

The EF is one I used while playing at Colleen's

Black embellishments from Gina K.

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

The choice is yours!

Thanks for stopping by.

Color Hues #55

Finally able to enter the Color Hues challenge.  I have been wanting to make a card all week, but just wasn't able to get to my craft room to play.  Spent the day watching the Seahawks win for a chance in the playoffs, on a very dreary Oregon Day and creating this card.

I tried all of my light pinks and just couldn't get a good light pink.  Ended up blending Gina K's Light Carnation to get this soft pink.  

Used Altenew's Garden Treasure and embossed with gold Embossing Powder.  The EF is one I had in my stash so don't know the name of it.  

Gina K's Pearl Mix Black, Gold & Silver embellishments.

Seize the Birthday #252 Case a STB Designer

Barbara would like us to Case a STB Designer for the STB Challenge

I have cased my bestie, Colleen, One Smile lifts a Spirit.   She actually gave me this stamp/stencil set for my birthday.  I picked the last card in her post with the soft peach but used a light pink, and a Cuttlebug EF, PTI pattern paper, & sentiment from Wishes Come True.

You can also post an anything goes card as long as it is a birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Seize the Birthday #251 - Many of Something

I am so excited to join the STB Design Team.  Thank you, Nancy, for the invite.  Ashwini would like us to use many of something.   If you choose to not use the topping, you are always welcome to make any kind of birthday card.  

If anyone knows me, they know that I love flowers and butterflies.  And I chose butterflies for this challenge. 

The background is an Alcohol Ink sheet and the die cut sheet both of which I had in my stash.  I used PTI's Balloon Bash, Rubberneck's Butterflies are Free and Avery Elle's Butterflies with CP inks.

Gina K Disco Ball Sequins.
