Hello and welcome! Today is a grand day where we celebrate the 200th challenge at the Seize the Birthday challenge!! Hip hip hurrah!! 😀 😀
For this challenge we want you to make a card and/or project that is inspired by the graphic above. Whether it be the colors, the balloons, the watercolor vibe, or the numbers etc… Whatever sparks your creativity. However for this challenge only, we are asking you to explain in your post how exactly you were inspired! And also, the ‘Anything Goes’ option is not available this time!
What’s more – to celebrate this special occasion, there will be more than one prize up for grabs so to make sure you head over to Seize The Birthday blog for all the details!
And now, finally coming to the card inspired by the very graphic that I made –
Of course, I chose watercoloring!! …Not!! I chose the colors and the partial theme of ‘water’. So, the scene comprises of some beautiful corals, plant life and some fishes swimming leisurely.
The stamps are from My Favorite Things Gill Friends and Paper Trey Ink/Ink to Paper Salt Air Flora stamp. I used the Winnie & Walter Madison stencil to create the fish-gill-like background. Finally the sentiment is from Sizzix Phrases stamp set.
Hop over to the Seize the Birthday blog for more inspiration from our wonderful team and information on the prizes. Of course, there is some extra inspiration from our Surprise Party Guest, Angie Cimbalo too!
Thank you so much for stopping by! 🙂
Experiments With Card Making Etc 
I adore your cad that was inspired by the colors of our new logo. For me, I just love that new logo that you created and that was my inspiration.
Lovely water coloring on your beautiful card.
I chuckled at your post as most are going to think this is watercolored! NOT! LOL This is a stunning underwater scene and yes we have you to thank for sure for creating such a great logo to inspire us all! I am so glad I have you on my team! Heart hugs!
I love how you used to logo colors to crate your underwater world.
Amazing card Ashwini! I love your underwater scene! Way to make all those colors come to life!

LOL … what a wonderful interpretation of the theme! Fabulous underwater scene! Love it! GREAT job and wonderful inspiration! I sure hope I get time to join in the fun!!
Thank you for creating the lovely and colorful graphic for out challenge. I love your interpretation of the colors with that cute underwater scene. The background looks great with the fish and all the elements.
I love that you chose to go for the less obvious route and created this gorgeous underwater scene! It’s completely clear that it’s inspired by your graphic, but totally original at the same time. Brilliant!
This is amazing! The colors, the theme, the fun images and incredible stencilled background. I love every bit!
Love that the colors are inspired by the logo! Can it be called “deconstructed” watercolor (water & color) then? 😉
Great job with the card, just like you did a great job with the logo. 🙂
This is such an awesome and fun card. LOVE the bright colors and the underwater scene. I can’t wait to complete my card for the Seize The Birthday challenge. LOVE these colors.
Blessings,

As soon as I saw your card I was thinking about Winnie & Walter and how sad it is that Shay decided to close the shop.
