Square card & non white base at Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda wants us to use a square card with a coloured base.

Or play along with our anything goes birthday option.

Our party guests and my team mates have lots of inspiration over at the blog, so I hope you can play along.

I don't often make square cards, although I do often use black bases.

I've seen lots of ideas on pinterest for florals on a black base and love how the flowers pop, so that's where I went with this card.

I coloured some card with oxide inks for the flowers and used a green card from my stash for the greenery. The embossing folder is new to me, I like how it matched the blooms!

I tossed up between a black on white sentiment, but gold on black won.

Tic Tac Toe, I went with the middle row, any colour, free & sentiment.

Try it on Tuesday, Summer Blooms

Supplies:

Altenew piped floral lace 3D ef; Spellbinders be bold blooms dies; Poppystams banner sentiments stamp & die; scraps of gold card; oxide inks.

One or More Numbers at Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's my turn to host the challenge at Seize the Birthday and I've chosen numbers for this fortnight.

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

Our party guest and my team mates have some great inspiration for you, so hope you can play along this round.

I made a card similar to this a while ago, and when my sister in laws birthday was close thought I'd make this design for her too.

I stamped the confetti stamp in silver and embossed with silver ep to add some shine.

The sentiment and numbers are diecut from gold cardstock, layered up for some dimension.
