Off The Edge for Seize the Birthday...

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley has chosen our theme this time around.

Or, as always, play along with our anything goes birthday option, it's a great way to build up your card stash!

Our party guests and my team mates have some fabulous cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

I'm nearly always late to the party with Stampin Up gear!

I recently bought a retired 2nd hand succulent set of stamps and dies and thought that the plants hanging off the edge of the pot would suit the theme!

I was playing around with some Lindy's magicals both shimmery and flat powders with water and used some of the experiments to diecut the plants and pot from. You can see some of the silvery shimmer on the leaves.

I fussy cut the smaller succulents and added some extra colours and shading with Prismacolour pencils.

The background was embossed using the large die from the set.

The sentiment is a sticker and it too is nearly off the edge lol! I wanted to use it as I love the font though.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
