Hello friends. Hope you all had a good start to the New Year - 2025. This is Seize the Birthday's first challenge of the new year and Cathy wants to see something new on our cards.
My new items are Altenew Perfect Gift stamp & dies, and Altenew Basic Plaid 3D EF. Love the background texture from the EF. I stamped the flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with SU Rococo Rose (ret.) and Granny Apple Green Blends. I added a light yellow center and used my black Micro pen to go over the stamen dots. I mounted the flower with foam tape. I used Memory Box Happy Birthday Debut Script die for the sentiment and cut a black layer and a white layer with just the top die layer. I did not use the shadow die, instead I glued the layers together off setting them for a thin shadow effect.
Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by the team, and our party guests, using something new on their cards.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
