glorious green

Happy Thursday crafty friends.  JoAnn has picked our Seize the Birthday topping for this week and it is Use Green as Your Main Colour. Green is one of my faves so really enjoyed this JoAnn. (Full confession - this is my second card for this challenge.  Wasn't completely happy with the first one - lol).  Got out my long neglected alcohol inks, put on a wee bit of gold and this is how it turned out.  There is a close up just to see the gold on the edge and the texture on the leaf.

Be sure to head over to the blog to give some crafty love to our new Surprised Party Guest for March and April, Jennie M (welcome Jennie!), previous winner Valerie (congrats on winning my challenge!) and the rest of the design team.

I'm also entering this into our sister challenge, The Color Hues Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.

stencilling CAS

It's our fearless leader Nancy's turn to pick the topping at Seize the Birthday this week!  She is a woman after my own heart by picking CAS & stencilling. I love both and I love how this card turned out.  I have used this design a lot lately, in a variety of ways, to pull together quickie, 5 minute cards.

fantastic fruit

Happy Thursday crafty friends and welcome to July! We are finally getting some hot weather here and I love it. It's time for another Seize the Birthday challenge and this time, Colleen has picked fruits for the theme. I don't have a lot of fruit stuff so I decided to have them be more of an accessory instead of the main part. I love these fun Happy Hour drink dies. I couldn't find the ice cube die from that set so had to improvise with the negative of a mesh die from another set (which I can't remember the name of). The drink and fruit colours are courtesy of Distress Oxides. 

Head over to  the blog to give our Surprise Party Guest Julia, previous winner Fran, and the rest of the DT some crafty love for their spectacular creations. Hope you can play along with us.

Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend. 

Thanks for stopping by.
