Birthday dreamcatcher.


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday
 where it's an anything goes birthday theme.


There are lots of wonderful cards by the DT to inspire you, so I hope you get the chance to play along!

I've been playing with Paper Artsy infusions and my favourite colour is this jade one. I always mop up any left over colour on my craft mat  with sheets of watercolour paper,
 hate wasting anything lol!
If the colour is too pale I'll sprinkle a little more powder onto the paper and spritz with some water.

So the background for this card is made from one of these sheets, and I diecut the dreamcatcher and feathers from another lighter one. I used two spellbinder circle dies to create a border to enlarge the size of the dreamcatcher.

The white panel is embossed with a burlap coverplate from Papertrey Ink, love the subtle texture it gives.

I'm linking up to a few challenges:

Happy Little Stampers anything goes with dies


At Mix It Up Challenge Blog, I've chosen the anything goes option.

I like the name of that particular infusions, too. :D This is gorgeous! Great idea to use different saturations of the same colour to tie everything together.

Good to see another creation from you Cathy, I’ve come to grinding halt, maybe midweek. .. you’re all in my thoughts and prayers up north, will be good when those fires are under control as seems still issues even today. Good it’s cooler too.
Love this design it’s a great colour I agree and if I had them it would be a favourite colour, love texture and dies too, well done.

Gorgeous colour for your framing and suncatcher, Cathy! Powdered inks are so fun to play with and there's so much you can do with them. Like you said, even the mop-ups can make beautiful cards. Your birthday card is so pretty! xx

Love the color and the visual texture of the infusion background, Cathy! The dreamcatcher and the feathers in the lighter tone look awesome and the lightly dry-embossed white panel adds cool effect!

Dreamcatchers are so beautiful! Love how you use your leftovers and create something new of them. I think, your combination of the dreamcatcher and green as colour of hope and luck is perfect!
Thanks for sharing this special birthdy card with us in the Uniko Challenge #51.
