Hello friends. We have a new challenge for you at Seize the Birthday and Cathy has chosen Metallic for our "Topping" option this time. Of course, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
We are also welcoming a new Surprise Party Guest - Karren Johnson. You can find her blog here. Glad to have you joining us Karren.
For my card I cut Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script from metallic paper from a Tim Holtz pad. I backed it with a white die cut for more sturdiness. I also cut the flower center from the same metallic paper. The flower is from Memory Box Layered Fresh Flowers. I cut two of the large flower from pink cardstock from my stash. I love the detail in the die cut. I shaped the petals and glued them in the center only and then to the lt. blue rectangle, which has been embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF (retired), and mounted with foam tape The leaves were punched with a retired SU punch. The pink pattern paper is from my stash, sorry I don't know who it is by. I added some clear rhinestones for a final touch.
Be sure to check out all the amazing cards by the team and I hope to see you in our gallery at Seize the Birthday.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day.
