Seize the Birthday #328 Use Vellum or Acetate

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

Ashwini is our host for this challenge and her chosen Topping is for us to use 'VELLUM OR ACETATE' on our card.    
If however you are not in to our 'toppings' option, you can omake any kind of  Birthday Card.

I used some coloured vellum that's been sitting in my stash for years. I layered 3 colours and your can see the other colours under the white polka dots. The butterfly is from Memory Box and the Embossing Folder is from Stampin Up. The paper is from Daiso. 

You can see more from our talented Surprise Party Guest Kathy, from Stamps at Play as well as our wonderful  GD, Kerry, from  Kerry's Papercraft and the rest of the 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.

Time Out #315 Pick Two

 Hi there Crafty Friends! It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. We want you to Pick (at least) Two from the following prompts:- Vacation, Summer, Water, Camping, Sun, Ice Cream.

I chose Summer, Sun and Ice Cream.

By now, you might be getting the idea that I love Ice Cream and you are right! 

I used a fantastic die set from Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment is from Concord & 9th.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the EF, but think it might be We R Memory Keepers. 

I used Distress Inks for colouring.

Our wonderful sponsor, Newton's Nook, is generously offering a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We have the wonderful Sherri joining us as Guest Designer.  She posts her work on Flickr as Sherrisonline. You can see Sherri's beautiful card and more from our Design Team at Time Out Challenges blog.

                        Now it's your turn - I hope you have the opportunity to join in our challenge.
