Holy cow...it's your birthday!


Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
I hope 2020 is a happy, calm and prosperous year for you.
Here's hoping we get lots of rain to end these horrific bushfires we've had for months in Australia.

It's time to kick off 2020 with a new challenge at  Seize the Birthday  and Ashwini has chosen the theme of layers.
(Ashwini has also created our wonderful new blog badges, I love the colourful graphic design.)


I'm more of a CAS card maker but thought building up a little scene would hopefully count as layers.

You can always play along with our anything goes birthday theme if layers aren't your style, and the Design Team have lots of inspiration for you, so I hope you get the chance to play along.


I purchased this digi in 2015 from an online shop that was closing, Squigglefly. 
I printed it onto thin card, fussycut it and then coloured it with Prismacolour pencils, blended  with Zest It.

The background is distress inks lightly blended with a toothbrush shaped brush.
Diecut grass, punched flowers and a sentiment printed on my computer finished the card.

I'm linking up to some challenges:



Double D where the theme is to use a punch, and the team are celebrating their 4th birthday, congratulations!

GRAB OUR BADGE!

  1. Absolutely brilliant, Cathy. What a wonderful design!
    Thinking of all those caught up with the horrendous fires in Australia. It's been the main headlines in the news here in the UK and I can't begin to imagine what it must be like living nearby. xx
