Jade infusions and a flower.


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time it's anything goes as long as it's a birthday theme.
 Our party guest and the design team have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.


I love this die for making cards in a hurry!
 All that you need is a  piece of card for the top layer and a background!

This one was made by mopping up some infusions powder that had been spritzed with lots of water. The walnut crystals leave a lovely vintagy brown colour, looks a bit marbelized to me.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
AAA Cards are celebrating their 5th birthday! Congratulations.


AAA Birthday have a watercolour theme.


Time Out has a nature theme.


Watercooler Wednesday has an anything goes feminine theme.


Supplies:
Poppystamps Floral Stem Collage die; PaperArtsy a little bit jaded infusions; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
