Autumn items for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara has chosen fall or autumn items as the theme.


or you can play along with our anything goes birthday option.


Our party guest Loll and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope to see you in the gallery.

I diecut a background made with green and gold inka gold pastes, early autumn colours.
This Sizzix die has lots of intricate little parts that are tricky to glue down, but I do like it. It reminds me of spent flowers that can still look so pretty.
Here's a closer look at the shimmer and shine.


I'm linking up to these challenges:





Supplies:
Tim Holtz bouquet die; Paper Rose stitched rectangle metal frames die; Creative Expressions mini stacked happy birthday die; inka gold pastes; scrap of metallic gold card.

Thanks for visiting,

Neutral Colours only for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday,  and Ashwini has chosen neutral colours for our theme.


Or build up your card stash with our anything goes birthday option.


Our party guest is the very talented Loll who, along with my team mates has some wonderful ideas to inspire you, so hope to see you in the gallery.

I had a sentiment stamped on a card base that has been in my bit box for a few years!
I decided to add a butterfly that complemented the colours. My neutrals include mainly browns and creams and metallic or pearl versions of these - bronze and cafe au lait embossing powders

I inked up the butterfly wings and body with versamark and added Lindy's embossing powder. I added a layer of vellum and beige card under the wings.
