Hi there! It's my pleasure to be guest designing with the amazing team at Seize the Birthday for their current challenge.
The topping for this go around is "Add a Tag", but anything goes as long as it's a birthday theme. I love to play the toppings!

Looks like I got my seasons mixed up but, hey, the tag was already embossed and waiting for me to color it. I chose some Mintay Golden Days designer paper which was gifted to me at Christmastime for one of my favorite go-to layouts, in this case using Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles.
The tag is from the Spellbinders Mushrooms from Me to You 3D cut and emboss folder. The folder makes three arched panels at once. I used one last fall, and still have a mid-sized panel yet to design with. Fall seems such a short card-making season with Christmas so close on its heels, so it's probably not a bad idea for me to occasionally enjoy it ahead of time.
The tag is cut from watercolor paper and colored with Tombow markers and blender. The enamel dots are 1/4" and 1/8" burgundy cardstock coated with Diamond Glaze.
We all need birthday cards, and tags are fun, so play along with us at Seize the Birthday and enjoy yourself! Thanks so much for your time today. Take care!

I absolutely love mushrooms on cards and this is no exception it turned out very well I love Die Cut hemstitch rectangle that you put it on. I also observe how you picked up the colors from the background paper. Again a nice job.
This beautiful birthday card is worthy of any season, Leslie! LOve that gorgeous designer paper and be still, my houndstooth loving heart! It's been a minute since I've used my hemstitched dies - lovely to see it here!
