Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and we are celebrating our 200th challenge!
Congratulations to Nancy and the team for reaching such a great milestone, and providing so much inspiration.
To celebrate Nancy and some of the team are generously giving away some prizes for those that participate in a blog hop, and enter a card inspired by our logo.
All of the details are on the challenge blog. Our party guest and the team have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
The colours in the logo were my inspiration for this card.
I diecut the flower from some glossy photo paper that I had smooshed into distress oxide inks, dried, and then wiped with a baby wipe. The baby wipe removes the chalky ink residue and reveals bright colours underneath.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Always Fun Challenges, where it's anything goes,
Supplies:
Paper Rose blooming flowers background die; oxide inks in picked raspberry, mermaid lagoon, wilted violet and twisted citron; glossy photo paper; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

A quick and easy card to make but so eye-catching too.
This is stunning. Love how you incorporated the colors, yet left so much white space.
I couldn't love this card anymore Cathy! Such a great job with the colors of our graphic! Super job!!
Such a beautiful card! Love the colors on the flower.
Love that die and those colours with the lovely contrast from the black, inspiring xx

What a stunning card with that big die cut coverplate. Love how you have used the colors to color it, so pretty.
Wow, this is one beautiful card! The colours of our graphic look so good backed with the clean white panel. And then the black cardbase makes everything pop!
This cover plate die with te pretty flowers and leaves works beautifully and love the bright oxide ink colours for the smooshing, and using the baby wipe to take away the chalky residue works well to make the colours crisp ad clean. A great CASEing of the logo too, and wonderful to see Seize the Birthday still going strong, and far into the future I hope. x
I love all the beautiful colors you used. The glossy paper really gives it an extra shine. That die is gorgeous too!
A real stunner of a card, fabulous die cut and wonderful colours....I love it x.
Hi Cathy!
What a stunning card. Your colors are so soft and pretty, and the card is just as cute as could be. Thanks for the inspiration in the Seize The Birthday challenge. I plan to play along this week.
Blessings,

What a unique and clever way to get the colors from the logo on your card, I would have not thought of that, but coloring the die the way you did is really cool and looks terrific!
Lovely way to use the colors, Cathy.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the tip about DO on glossy paper!
That's a lovely card, love the beautiful colours and the die.

The blending of the bright colors looks beautiful, Cathy! I once did the DOX-on-photo-paper technique and was so happy with the result! I think It's time for me to give it a try again :)!
That is such a pretty die and congrats on the 200th challenge, making a card too and will join , hugs Blankina

Gorgeous card Cathy - love this die and using the topping colours has created a very pretty effect... hugs Robyn, stay safe
Your card is beautiful. I love the colors of the die cut. I'll have to try that technique about using glossy paper and rubbing off the chalky residue to reveal a brighter color!
Magnificent use of challenge colours on that gorgeous flower die cut.
