Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday!
The theme, Colleen has chosen is it's just a number.
Or, you can play along with anything goes birthday.
The design team and our party guest have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I've been playing with some retired Stampin Up stamps, Tie Dyed.
I spritzed some water on watercolour paper and inked up the 3 spiral stamps in various dye ink colours.
I thought the swirls went well with the groovy die, and diecut the word from a failed tie dyed attempt lol!
The number was inked with versamark and embossed with some midnight violet powder.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday says Stamp it.
Watercooler Wednesday all about occasions.
Work it Wednesday has a celebrate theme.
Supplies:
Stampin Up tie dyed stamp; Su inks in brocade blue, orchid and coastal cabana; Lawn Fawn reveal wheel sentiments; Memory Box Parker number dies; Cheery Lynn Groovy die; Lifestyle Crafts twirl embossing folder; versamark ink & Lindys midnight viplet ep; versafine ink & clear ep; birthday sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

ReplyDeleteThis brings me back to my tie dye days! A pretty card and beautiful colors. This is a great design and I love the "groovy" sentiment.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely groovy, the sentiment is brilliant especially with the black drop shadow. I love how the pattern is echoed on the embossed panel, great looking card x
ReplyDeleteTye dye was a big thing as I was growing up. Yours reminds me of the t-shirts that we made. This is a great card for masculine or feminine person.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Cathy! I feel like I'm back in the 70's! :) I do remember tie-dying a t-shirt - it was a lot of fun. Your card totally brings back those memories. Fabulous design and colours. Very groovy!! xx

ReplyDeleteThis looks quite retro Cathy and very pretty with the addition of just a little water, and what could be better than that embossed background with those mass of circle shapes and the perfect sentiment too. x
ReplyDeleteLove this card Cathy! Your tie-dye spirals are fabulous! Then you carried over the spirals with embossing! The entire card is perfection!!
