Seize the Birthday - Add a Star

 Hello friends.  It is time for our new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Cathy would like to see a star(s) on our birthday cards. Remember, it is our"Topping" option and the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.

 

For my card I used an older SU EF called Star Crossed.  You can see all the little stars embossed on the lt. blue panel.  The cake and sentiment are from an older SU set - Happy Birthday to You.  I colored the flowers with SU Flirty Flamingo & Granny Apple Green Blends, with a touch of yellow on the flower centers.  I used a lt. gray Copic to accent the cake frosting and a darker gray for the cake stand.  After coloring the image, I die cut it with the matching die and then mounted the sentiment and the cake with foam tape.

Be sure to check out all the "starry" cards by the team and our party guests over at Seize the Birthday.  Hope to see you in our gallery.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
