Hello there Crafty Friends! I am honoured to be the Surprise Guest at Seize the Birthday Challenge the next couple of months. It's one of my fave challenges and I'm so happy to join in the fun.
The theme for this challenge is 'STRIPES' but the themes are always optional, so you can enter any card, as long as it's a Birthday Card.
I made the stripes by scribbling Karin Markers over a stencil and spritzing liberally and then flipping it over on to the watercolour paper. I then used a brush to blend a bit more on the page.
I then die-cut the seahorse and embossed the white panel with a die.
Stencil: Picket Fence Watercolour Brushstrokes
Dies: Alexandra Renke Seahorse; Cutplorations Rectangle
Stamps: Clearly Besotted Simply Quilled
I hope you'll visit Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the design team and then join in the challenge with us.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
