Seize the Birthday #319

The topping at Seize the Birthday is 'rainbow of colors'.  I watched Therese Calvird's video about rainbow colored flowers and then saw the one my friend Marcia made and had to try it.

The stencil is Elegant Rose from SSS, colored with Altenew inks.  I trimmed the panel down with a SSS stitched square, mounted it on Altenew Moonstone glitter cardstock and then onto my card base.  The unbranded sentiment die is from the same paper.  Do you think you'd like to try making a rainbow flower?

Freshly Made Sketches #7221 and NBUS #82

While everyone else is making winter cards or valentines, I wanted to use my new TH Foliage Wreath die set for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

This is the third of Tim's wreath dies that I have bought and while they have a lot of fiddly little pieces I love how they look.  I had a couple of old Core-dinations 6 by 6 packs that I forgot about and used them to cut everything.  Some of the pieces have been colored with Distress Ink. The wood strip is a scrap and I couldn't decide on a sentiment so went without.   

Darnell's NBUS is also seeing the wreath's first time in use.

Double D - Friends

Double D had the cutest mood board for their current challenge - Friends.  I don't have anything like that but found something I think is just as cute.

Those hedgehogs from Penny Black are adorable.  They were colored with Zigs, mounted on PTI  Green Parakeet and then on a panel of Spellbinder's Deep Pumpkin, embossed with SSS Blossom Field.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee's My Favorite Flower.  

The snow and cold persist but at least the sun is shining.  I hope you are staying warm and safe if you are in the frigid zone.

Just Us GIrls #808 - CASE a Designer

Five Thursdays in January means we have a CASE the Designer challenge at Just Us Girls, hosted by Ina.  

A fun new product from Spellbinders was calling my name.

How about a Cowboy snowman?  I think I was drawn to the bird feeder and bunny but the snow wrangler is cute too.  The background was made by inking the Softly Falling embossing folder from SU with SSS Surf Blue.  Everything was cut from scraps, using some Buffalo plaid for his scarf and vellum for the feeder.  SSS Stitched Slopes gave him a place to rest.  

All you have to do is pick a card from any of the Just Us Girls designers and CASE it, giving it your own twist.  Please let us know whose card you chose if it's not obvious and have fun.
