Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time Ashwini has chosen the topping option of Transparency or Vellum. Remember it is an option and the only requirement is that your project has to be for a birthday.
For my card I used some pattern paper I had on my table in pink and navy. I added a mat of Night of Navy. The flowers, leaves and sentiment are from Gina K. Stippled Flower Stamp and Die Bundle. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the flower with SU Flirty Flamingo Blends and the leaves with Granny Apple Green Blends. I fussy cut them out and added the flower with foam tape to a die cut Night of Navy circle. I added the leaves under the flower and then added the circle with foam tape also over the end of the vellum strip heat embossed with the sentiment.and black embossing powder. I folded the end of the vellum around the pink paper and taped it down. For a final touch I added 3 clear rhinestones for a little bling.
Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by the team and our guest designer over at
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I often forget that this is a classic way to add a sentiment without obstructing the design.
