PE: Top Pick at Inkspirational Challenge!! Yay!!!
Favorite at Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Challenge
Hello and welcome! We have a new challenge on Seize the Birthday blog. The challenge is to make birthday projects, and you also have the option of using a ‘Topping’ that is given in every challenge. And the ‘Topping’ this time is ‘Make us Laugh’, chosen by our teammate Lindsey.
This one might have been my toughest challenge yet! I was completely stumped when I saw ‘Make us Laugh’ as the theme! But I did take it upon myself to deliver, and boy, am I glad I did!
As happens with cards I usually find difficult, I didn’t have anything in the stash for this. So, I went with my best source of inspiration. I searched for a funny sentiment in Pinterest and found this one. I then thought of using critters along with it, to make a funny card. I think having critters in my card made it easier!
I guess our critter friends were a little too hungry to wait for their friend – they ate up the cake! Instead, they’ve brought all sorts of presents, balloons and flowers – so maybe they’ll be forgiven! He he!
With this card I am joining the following challenges –
Inkspirational Challenge #181: Designer’s Choice: Use Your Stash
Timeout Challenge #130: Unique (unique for me for being my first ever humorous card)
Happy Little Stampers March Watercolor Challenge: Anything Goes
A2Z Scrapbooking March Challenge: Color it In
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Anything Goes
I hope you are inspired by this card, and try to make a funny card, even if it is out of your comfort zone. Check out the Seize the Birthday blog for more inspiration from out fabulous DT and also from our talented Surprise Party Guest, Julie Beech! And don’t forget to join the party! 🙂
Supplies used –
Waffle Flower Bear and Bird stamp
Simon Says Stamp Birthday Bits and Gifts of Love stamp sets for the balloons and presents
Hero Arts Its Your Day and Honey Bee Stamps Sentiment Builder stamp sets for the sentiment
Zig Brush markers for coloring & watercoloring

Thank you so much Vicki! I should thank Pinterest for that!! 😀
He he..I know how the cake disappears 😉 loved it Ashwini !
You should know, my dear – by experience! 😆 Thanks for the comments!
Ashwini, I found this challenge to be difficult too. I started with the image and had to make a computer generated sentiment to fit it. Maybe I shoudl have worked backwards and picked a sentiment first and then the image. Your method worked very well and this is a funny card.
Thank you so much Barbara! And I am so glad it did work well!
Great sentiment and a fun card. Thanks for having me as the PG at STB. 🙂

You nailed this challenge, Ashwini! I’m sure this is only the first in a series of humorous cards by you. 😉 I also applaud you for using this Bird and Bear image, as it would likely not have entered my mind that this duo would work on a funny card, but they really do! Funny and adorable, too. I also get to thank you for linking up with the Happy Little Stampers watercolour challenge!
Thank you so much Lindsey! Means a lot coming from you! Really sweet of you to say so! 😊
Your colouring on this sweet critter scene is fabulous, Ashwini … they’re adorable with all their birthday paraphernalia! That sentiment is just so much fun … and funny! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Anita 🙂
Thank you so much Anita! I am really flattered! Really sweet of you!
Hehe, fun card, and I love how you thought outside the box with the stamps that you chose. Fab colouring too 🙂
