Focal one for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini wants us to use one stamp, stamped only once as the focal point.

Or add to your birthday stash with our anything goes option.

Our party guest Fran and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope to see you in the gallery.

This is a revamp of a design I made quite a few years ago. When mojo says no go I try and perk up with some of my own CASEs! 

The dalmation was coloured with prismacolour pencils and fussy cut.

I went for a grungy wall background with a brick outline . Oxide and distress inks played nicely together for that.

The speech bubble is from a retired Stampin Up stamp and die set. I masked out the stamp sentiment and used a birthday sticker instead.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
