Hello, friends! It's a happy day as I'm kicking off a guest spot for the next two months with Seize the Birthday. I was delighted when Nancy reached out to me, and it's been a treat preparing for it.
I went for the topping because my stamp and die collection is full of things that fly. Many of them have not yet been used, such as the butterflies on today's card. They're from the Memory Box Fuchsia release, summer 2024. These are the Canyon Butterflies. So pretty!
The rest of the card is made up of goodies I shopped from my stash -- some many years old, some maybe only a year or two, but it's all good. I think of my craft room as a big, wonderful toy box.
This is one of Jill Foster's sketches for Penny Black, somewhat modified to accommodate my focal area. The already-colored embossed panel was pulled from my spare parts, and I nested some oldie Sizzix tag dies to make the frame. Flowers and Nuvo drops and Penny Black sentiments fill in the rest. Color is courtesy of ink blending with brushes. I think you can even see the glitter in the flower centers.
That's all from me! You know the team at Seize the Birthday always has fabulous samples to inspire you. Check them out and then play along with yours! Have a happy day!
