Fall/ Autumn Colours for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda wants us to use fall colours for this round.

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

Our party guest and my team mates have loads of inspiration for you over at the blog, So I hope you can play along.

I had some leftover scraps from a play with brushos from a few years ago! I keep everything lol!

I don't remember which brushos I used but I spritzed the top with some gold shimmer spray.

Here's a closer look at the shimmer.

I thought the splotchy golds oranges and browns fit the Autumn colour theme, and was inspired by this card by Ingrid from Pinterest for the layout.

The sentiment stamps are from Lawn Fawn and a set by Technique Tuesday that I bought years ago and

haven't used since! Luckily it has the purrfect stamp .

Patterned Paper Birthday

 

Hi everyone, I wanted to play along with a couple of challenges that called for patterned paper.

I have plenty in my stash but like to look at it rather than use it lol!

This piece from Craft Consortium looked perfect for a masculine card. I love how it looks like an old map. I diecut the sentiment from some metallic card and layered it up for dimension.

Add a Sentiment Strip for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules would like us to add a sentiment strip for this round.

Or play along with our anything goes birthday option.

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

I'm not sure about this card lol!

I gold embossed a background stamp and coloured the image with watercolour paints.

Diecut a circle in the top panel then embossed it and added the dragonflies, with black bodies so they stood out from all of the white and gold.

The sentiment is from a stamp and die set from Poppystamps - Birthday Banners.
