Groovy Birthday.


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:

Tye 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.

Great 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

You sure have captured a moment in time with your unique and wonderful card x.

This 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

Definitely one groovy card! And aiming it at someone turning 60 seems just about right, lol.
