24th Birthday fun!


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday. Colleen has chosen the theme and it's having the sentiment as a focus.


You can always play along with the anything goes birthday option too. The design team and our party guest have lots of wonderful ideas to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

My niece turns 24 in a week or so. She has a quirky sense of humour and loves meer cats so I hope she likes her card!

The congratulations circle was a smooshed leftover in my bits box, I added some distress ink to cover up the white parts and to brighten the colours. It's layered on a black diecut for extra dimension and a bit of shadow.

The meer cat was stamped in versafine, clear embossed, fussy cut and coloured with Prismacolour pencils. I positioned him in the circle and drew in his eyebrows!

The numbers were diecut, inked with versamark and embossed with Lindys midnight violet embossing powder. I love the intense purple.
Here's a closer look.



Supplies:
MFT congratulations die; Memory Box parker number die; distress oxide inks; veramark ink: Lindys Stamp Gang midnight violet embossing powder; Katzelkraft meer car stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; Prismacolour pencils; Lawn Fawn reveal wheel sentiment stamp.

Thanks for visiting,
 Cathy x

    What a fun card and love the rainbow colours you have added to this smooshed piece Cathy, and backed with the black, and with the added black sentiment and numbers, works beautifully, also who could resist that cute and fun meerkat which your niece will love of course. x

    What a super card, Cathy! I love that joy-filled Meercat. The "smooshed" circular congratulations die-cut makes the perfect backdrop, especially the way you've added the lovely distress ink colours. I'm sure your niece will love this card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
