Hello and welcome! We have a new challenge at Seize the Birthday, and the Topping this time, which chosen by me is ‘Dichromatic‘. The Topping is optional, and as long as it is birthday themed, you can join the challenge.
And here’s what I made –
I just got my hands on the Ornate Border die from CrafTangles and I just had to use it on a card. Actually, that’s where I started making this card. I sponged in Broken China and Cracked Pistachio distress inks on a strip of white cardstock, then die cut this and a couple of scrap pieces of cardstock using the die. I then adhered them together for dimension.
Next, I stamped the images from Altenew Beautiful Day on the white cardstock, using Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet for the flowers. While I used watercoloring on the smaller flowers, I misted the stamp with a bit of water to do the layered stamping. I then fussy cut the images.
Lastly the background. I used Itsy Bitsy Damask embossing folder on a white cardstock. I then used a brayer to apply ink top, making it a messy application, so that the ink isn’t uniform. I then trimmed the sides a bit and foam mounted the panel on top of the card base. I then arranged the die cut and the fussy cut images on top and adhered them.
The sentiment, from Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers, stamped on a strip of white cardstock is adhered on top. And that finished my card.
And that finished my card! I’m joining the following challenges as well –
