Black & White for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda wants us to play with black & white for this round.


Or if you need some colour, play along with our anything goes birthday option.

Our party guest Karen and my team mates have some great inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along. Welcome Nancy to the team too :)

Black & white made me think of pandas or penguins! Sadly though I don't think I have any penguin images. I've had these stamped and fussy cut pandas in my stash for years though!
When I stamped them I coloured in the streaks on the body with the same ink to get a smooth black look.

The sentiment is diecut from glossy black card, perfect for balancing cheeky pandas on!
I've used a 3D embossing folder for lots of texture in the background.

I'm linking up to these challenges:




Supplies:
Mama Elephant pandamonium stamps; versafine ink; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; unknown brand sentiment die; Sizzix 3D cracked embossing folder.

Have a great week & thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Cathy, Such a great direction for this challenge and my brain did not even go that way. Love the way the pandas are balancing on the sentiment. Cute birthday card!

What a fun card Cathy. Love those cute pandas balanced on that big birthday die cut. The texture looks great in the background.

How cute Cathy and love the way you have staged the pandas on the large letters of the sentiment, and the 3D textural background finishes it perfectly. x

I love that you gave some movement with the pandas. They look very happy bouncing around that sentiment. A very Happy Birthday card.
