Blue, Pink & Yellow for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara has a colour challenge for us this round.

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

Our party guest Kathy and my team mates have some great inspiration for you so I hope you can play along.

I've had this cover plate for a while, and it was next on my hit list to play with!
It's an American size cover plate so I need to rejig my brain with measurements for the card base as I'm used to Australian sizes.

I inked up some strips of card with oxide inks and spritzed them with some sparkle shimmer craft spray, so pretty IRL!  I stacked a white and black layer from the cover plate with a slight offset to give a bit of a shadow outline. 

The party hats are coloured with Chameleion pens. (Some slightly bigger ones would have been good but I'm not buying more stuff lol!)

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Supplies:
Whimsy Stamps happy birthday coverplate die; Oxide inks in picked raspberry; squeezed lemonade and salty ocean; Imagine sheer shimmer spray-sparkle; Lawn Fawn all the party hats stamp & die; chameleon alcohol pens.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week,
Cathy x

    Cathy, this is so fun and bold! It reminds me of a big, delicious decorated sugar cookie! Hugs, Darnell

    I mean, can it get any more perfect to use a trio of colors than this? I love the bold sentiment and those tiny little party hats! What a neat way of using the color topping, Cathy!
