Celebrate

The newest challenge at Seize the Birthday #292-Celebrate, and they want us to use the word as part of our design. I’ve had a die set of words by Sizzix for a long time, so I pulled it out and first cut my word in black. Then I took an older die from Memory Box called Sketchy Rings and cut in a neutral Kraft type CS. My gold banner is done with an unbranded set and I overlay a scrap piece of embossed metal on top. For this I hand cut the banner bottom. Using a piece of plastic and some Distress Oxide inks I swiped the inks, spritzed with water and then schmooshed onto the white card front. I moved it around a bit until I was happy with coverage and then heat dried it. Once dry I added the banner and the rings. My word was dabbed into Versamark and then clear heat embossed for additional shine. An old Tim Holtz stamp set had the hats so I stamped two, coloured with pencils and a little water, then fussy cut. I edged them with a black pen so they would stand out a little more and used foam tape to pop them up as you see. A few gold embellishments finishes the card.

This card has turned out better than I expected and is very vibrant. My hubby thought it a good one which always boosts my ego. Thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate that you do.
