Seize the Birthday - Use a Number

Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Cathy has chosen the "Topping" option to Use a Number.  Remember if you are not into the "topping" option, it is always "anything goes" as long as it is for a birthday.

 


 I made this card for my Great-Granddaughter who will be 20 soon and her favorite color is pink.  The flower, buds and leaves are cut with Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms and Club Blooms dies.  I used Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink (ret) and Pretty in Pink (ret) cardstock.  The sentiment is cut in Flirty Flamingo using Poppy Stamps Vintage Happy Birthday die.  20 is cut using a retired SU set.  The white panel is embossed with SU Absolutely Argyle EF (also retired).  I added a clear rhinestone to the center of the flower and mounted it with foam tape, then glued the leaves and buds under the petals.

 
 
and also Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with dies (I used a lot of dies on this one).

 
 
Be sure to check out all the great cards by the team over at Seize the Birthday.  Hope to see you in our gallery.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day. 

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  7. First of all can’t believe you have a great granddaughter that’s 20. That can’t be real. But your card certainly is lovely. I love all the textures and the pretty pink.
