Seize the Birthday - Focal One

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini wants us to use a Focal Image for our cards.

 

What this means is, in your card, for the focal image, use only one stamp and stamp it only once. No more stamping is allowed on the focal image. However, you are free to color it and free to do anything else with the rest of the card.

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!

 

I used Picket Fence Brighter Days Gerbera Daisy for my focal image.  I stamped the daisy and colored it with alcohol markers and die cut it with the matching die.  I snipped off the leaf on the right side and rearranged it to place my sentiment (retired SU set) at the bottom.  I die cut a Scalloped Contours die  from SU Basic Beige and then embossed it with the Subtle EF.  I mounted this panel to a panel of SU Copper Clay and then to the white card base.  I then glued the daisy and sentiment on.

Also linking to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used this stamp & die set.

and to The Triple B Challenge

Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by the team and our guest designers at Seize the Birthday.  Hope you join in our fun challenge.

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

Happy Stamping,
