SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ GREEN + ANOTHER COLOR
Hi Friends!
This challenge at Seize the Birthday is brought to us by Nancy!
She is looking for the color GREEN and one other color on your BIRTHDAY CARD!
This is an MFT stamp called Happy Birthday Candles!
I inked it up with 4 different shades of green starting with the lightest at the bottom of the candle and worked up to a darker green at the top. This gives it a nice ombre effect.
My second color is the yellow flame!
The sentiment is actually a die from SSS: Birthday wishes, and it comes with a background die which I chose to use vellum so you could still see the candles!
I hope you are inspired by all the awesome cards over at the STB blog and will visit the other designers and our special Party Guest Jolanda: https://jolandasinquespotstudio.com/ and Melanie: https://www.cardsbymelanie.com/2024/04/11/seize-the-birthday-281/ for this Challenge !
See you in the gallery!

COLOR HUES~ PEACH & GREEN
I.D.E.A.S by Darnell! this week is D= Dies
Hi my friends, Have you seen Darnell's clever idea if we need a jump start or something to help with our mojo? She calls it I.D.E.A.S
And by looking at the chart above you can see what each letter of the acronym stands for! This second week in April is D for Dies or Die cuts.
I have a new die from Waffle Flowers: Layered Party Hats:
I made a fun birthday card and I did want the party hats to be the main focus, so I used a Gina K confetti stencil for the background, but then decided it still needed something more and since I had these balloons sitting right next to me, already stamped and die cut, I thought perfect I will use them on this card along with the sentiment which is also from Gina K. A fun and festive birthday card using a NBUS and also using Dies for the second week in April!
Fun way to use up more supplies in our stash and remind us to use what we have!
thanks Darnell!!
