Seize the Birthday - Use Pastel Colors Only

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I have chosen the "Toppings" option of using pastels only.  Remember if you are not into the "Toppings" option, it just has to be for a birthday.

For my card I have used Pinkfresh Studio It's A New Day Floral stamp and dies.  I used SU Soft Sea Foam Blends (leaves) and Copic RV02 & RV10 (flowers) and a yellow marker for the center.  I mounted the flowers with foam tape over a lacy frame die cut by Gina Marie Designs.  Tthe background paper is from my stash.  It is a pale blue with splotches and I stamped the sentiment from SU Magnolia Blooms on it. 

Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by the team  and our party guest over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope to see you in our gallery.

 

I will link to The Paper Players - Tic-Tac-Toe challenge.  I chose the first row down - feminine, birthday and florals. I love making floral cards.

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

Happy Stamping,

CAS Christmas - Winter Berries

Hello friends.  I have a Christmas card for CAS Christmas - Winter Berries.  I was looking through my dies for a different die when I came across this Gina Marie Designs die set (no name on it).  It is like the die from SU Painted Poppies but is larger and is open in the middle instead of solid.  Anyway, I used the SU die and the leaves and berries from the the Gina Marie Designs die.

I cut the "wreath" die from SU Crumb Cake and added a die cut white Stitched Circle to the center.  I stamped the sentiment from Sweet N' Sassy Poinsettias in Real Red ink and then spritzed the circle with Champagne Shimmer Paint/alcohol spary for a sparkly tint, although it doesn't show up in the photo.  I also spritzed a piece of Real Red CS and then punched the berries.  I mounted the die cut piece with foam tape on a panel embossed with SU Holly EF (retired), and then to the card base.

I will also link this up at Darnell's NBUS as I have never used this Gina Marie Designs die even though I have had it for several years.


and also to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Wreathed in Christmas Smiles.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

Happy Stamping,
