Candles for Seize the Birthday

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Colleen has chosen the "Topping" option of candles for this challenge.  Of course, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.

 

I bought this digital image (Birthday Cake Mouse) from Whimsy Stamps because I thought it was so cute and it goes perfectly with Colleen's topping choice of candles.  After printing the image, I colored it with Promarkers and die cut it with a Cottage Cutz Double Stitched Square die.  I stamped the sentiment from SU Shaded Summer and die cut it with a Stitched Oval die.  The image and sentiment panels are mounted with foam tape on a tiny pink check pattern paper from my stash, and them to the white card base.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by our party guest and the design team over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will join in our fun challenge.

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

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn

 

Happy Birthday for Festive Friday Challenge

 Hello friends.  I made this birthday card for my son - his birthday is this week, and used the inspo list at Festive Friday Challenge.

Yea, My card was chosen as one of the Faves at Festive Friday.

 

The image has lots from the list, bird (loon), trees, green, water, masculine, blue.  The image is Loon Scene from Whimsy Stamps.  I just got the stamp and was anxious to use it so it was perfect for the challenge and for my son.  I colored the image with Copics and die cut it with SU Layered Circles dies.  I then matted it with black and mounted it with foam tape.  The blue panel is embossed with SU Tasteful Textile EF.  The sentiment is from another set I had on my desk.  I flagged the ends and mounted it with foam tape also.

I will link to the TicTacToe Challenge - bottom row,  die cut, blue, bird.

and also link to the NBUS challenge as this is the first time I have used this set.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
