Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and the theme this time is sunshine!
If you don't want to play with the theme, then anything goes birthday is fine too.
My sunshine is in the orange and yellows of this flower.
I added blending solution to some yupo paper, then dripped on some alcohol inks. When this was dry I thought I'd try and lift off some of the colour, by laying down a stencil and applying some blending solution to the stencil using a foam pad. The pattern didn't show up very clearly due to the busy mix of colours, but it did add some interesting textures.
The design team and special guest designer have some gorgeous cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along this month.
I'm also linking up to these challenges:
Watercooler Wednesday where it's an anything goes feminine challenge.
AAA Birthday where it's for the girls.
Time Out has a quote theme, and I was inspired by the word flowers from that.
Supplies:
Yupo paper; alcohol inks; Membory Box flower burst stencil; alcohol blending solution; Spellbinders MBossabilities Lovely Lattice folder; MFT regular and pierced tag stax dies; Memory Box tilth floral die; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

So pretty, Cathy. Love the yellows and oragnes and how your flower repeats in the embossed pattern.
Love the simplicity of your card and your pretty flower! Hope your days are getting a little easier Cathy! You have been on my mind!
I love that Yupo paper alcohol ink floral die cut against the lovely textured white background. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
The vibrant colours of the die cut flower sure do pack a punch against the crisp textured white background on your very striking card x.
Sunshiny and happy colors for that flower, Cathy! It sure does say: "welcome sunshine!"
The petals of your flower are so very pretty. Love that inking. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
Love your sunny colours, Cathy and that ink lifting technique is so interesting. Love the texture on the flower and that is a gorgeous clean design.
Have a great weekend.

It is an elegant CAS design, Cathy! Love your floral sunshine! Beautiful colors!
This is lovely. Love the white space, the embossed background and the way you colored in that flower. GREAT design!
Your flower is gorgeous! (So far I still just play with others' alcohol ink toys, but cards like this make me want my own supplies... :D) The layered tag and embossed background set off the focal point perfectly.
The flower is really so pretty! Love the colors on it - various and bright like the sunshine! And I liked the embossed background too. Together with the tag, it gives an awesome focal point for the flower and the sentiment!
Very pretty flower, propped up all perfectly on the embossed background -- soo pretty!
Such a pretty creation with the bright colours. Love the embossed background behind the tag. Thanks for playing along with us at AAA Birthday Challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again.
Really beautiful card, love the vibrant colors.♥

That gorgeous flower certainly adds a touch of sunshine Cathy and love the background EF and the black mat to the tag really makes it stand out beautifully from the background. x
