Seize the Birthday - #318 Make your own Snowflake Background

  Hi there Crafty Friends! It's time for another Seize The Birthday Challenge. 

Barbara is our host for this challenge and she wants us to  create a Birthday Card with Our Own Snowflake Background. If you are not in to our "toppings" option, you can make any kind of  Birthday Card.

I wouldn't mind a bit of snow here as it was 43C yesterday and more to come! 

I made a smooshed backgound, then stamped the music and then Snowflakes, which were heat embossed. I used Pearl Embossing Powder for a warmer look. The Music Background stamp, Snowflake Stamps and Frame Die are all from Penny Black. The Deer Die is an oldie from Alexandra Renke I think and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

Our Surprise Party Guest is Helen Brammer from Helen's Craft Haven.  We also have Stephanie from Ingenius Inkling joining us as Guest Designer. 

You can see Helen and Stephanie’s  gorgeous cards and more from our  talented Design Team at  Seize the Birthday Challenge blog.
 
I hope you'll find time to join us. Remember, the topping is optional, so if you prefer Anything Goes, that's fine,  so long as it's birthday themed. 

   Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

    I love the look that you gave your snowflakes with these Pearl embossing powder. That smooshed background was great for image of the deer. It's good to use the oldies but goodies
