Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules wants us to use a tag for this round.
Or add to your stash with our anything goes birthday option.
Our party guest Jennie and my team mates have loads of inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.
I used some new to me stamps and butterfly dies for this card.
I was inspired by Kristina Werner's youtube using the stamp and dye inks.
I stamped the flower in versamark and embossed in gold. I smooshed some inks onto a mat and played with watercolouring. This was lots of fun!
I used a large tag die as I wanted to keep as much of the background as possible so put it on a 5x7 card base. I edged the tag in gold ink before layering it up.
I thought it needed something else so added a butterfly in white with a vellum layer on top to soften it.
The sentiment is diecut from some black glossy card.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Supplies:
Pretty Posies background stamp by Kristina Werner; versamark ink & Wow fine detail gold ep; CP inks party dress; grape crush; sauna & catching rays; Lavinia mermaid ink; Encore gold ink;
Dies: MFT tag stax; Memory Box garden beauties butterfly; Creative Expressions stacked happy birthday.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week,

Stunning use of colour to showcase your butterfly. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
It's gorgeous! I love it when gold embossing is paired with rainbow colors, but this technique elevates the card to the next level, doesn't it?! I must remember to try this technique on one of my cards soon. That butterfly really catches the eye, perched on the colorful tag. Really stunning card, Cathy!
What a pretty and colorful tag Cathy. A great place for your white butterfly to land on. Love it.

oooh! I wasn't familiar with this technique and absolutely love it! (and need to try it!) It resembles stained glass in a way. Thanks for the new tip! Your card is beautiful!
You are so good about trying and doing techniques. I need to be better about that. I find I am very predictable. As for your gorgeous tag...it is really stunning, Cathy! That whit butterfly could not have been a more perfect addition. Thanks for inspiring me.
Cathy, this background is so beautiful. It looks like stained glass to me. Love the pretty white butterfly and the black sentiment.
