Seize the Birthday - Blue and Gray

 Hello friends and Happy New Year.  This is Seize the Birthday's first challenge for 2022 and Colleen has chosen Blue and Gray for our "Toppings" option this time. I think blue and gray is a lovely color combination.





I have used PTI Gran's Garden for the flowers and leaves in Balmy Blue and Smokey Slate.  The light shade is stamped off once and the darker shade is full strength Balmy Blue.  I used the matching dies to cut them out.  The flowers are mounted with foam tape and the leaves glued to the white panel, which is die cut with The Greetery Deco Frames die.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments Stamp & Die set stamped in Basic Gray ink.  This is all mounted on a Smokey Slate card base.

Be sure to visit the STB blog to see all the fabulous cards by the team and our new Surprise Party Guest,

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  6. I love the flowers look gorgeous with the soft tones of color, and I love how you've kept the background minimal with just the fancy die cut. Lovely card, JoAnn.
