The other day I was fooling around with some leftover CS that was mostly just colour strips. I added quite a few to some paper as a backing and this small piece is part of one of them. There was no rhyme or reason to how I put them together and I wasn’t too worried about size or matching everything either.
The challenge at Seize the Birthday is a Tic Tac Toe choice and I chose the diagonal of stripes, CAS and sentiment without the word birthday. Using an older SSS die set I cut a couple of balloons from the piece but decided to only use one of them here. Kind of like an eclipse only I didn’t add the usual black background when I put the balloon back in place. I added the tiny striped bow leaving one end as a wavy piece and then curved the sentiment slightly to add in the downward curve. Sentiment is from an MFT set and twine is from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have enjoyed an excellent weekend wherever you may be.
