Hi there Crafty Friends! It's time for another Seize The Birthday Challenge.
Glenda is our host for this challenge and she wants us to create a 'CAS Birthday Card with Die Cuts'.
If you are not in to our "toppings" option, you can make any kind of Birthday Card.
I smooshed Alcohol Inks over a piece of Holographic silver card stock and then die cut the Dragonfly and cut the co-ordinating strips for a border. I used a favourite Embossing Folder for the background. The sentiment was stamped, silver embossed and die cut.
Dies: Dragonfly Alexandra Renke , Sentiment Pinkfresh Studio
Stamp: Sentiment Pinkfresh Studio
Embossing Folder: Stampin Up
Our Surprise Party Guest is Helen Brammer from Helen's Craft Haven. We also have Valerie from Scrap de Vava joining us as Guest Designer.
You can see Helen's gorgeous card 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:)
This has come together so well. I love everything about it, especially those little strips xx
