I'm back today guest designing for Seize the Birthday challenge and they have a timely topping for us to incorporate into a birthday card. Add a heart! Check out what the Design Team has created then join in and share your card in the gallery!
Hearts are especially perfect this week but they work for all year round if you're a card maker. I shifted into birthday mode for this challenge and pulled out my Hearts of Elegance dies to get me started. It's nice to be reminded that products that are Valentine's day themed can work for more than just one kind of card.
My colors are from the Paper Players challenge and I think they are perfect for a bright birthday card! The card base is Basic White thick, then a smaller layer of Basic White. I had some off cuts of Floral Delight DSP in this pretty Daffodil Delight eyelet pattern that were the perfect size to make 3 panels for a background.
I used the Hearts of Elegance dies to cut a Flirty Flamingo heart and a Summer Splash heart. The Flirty Flamingo heart is embossed with the Eyelet embossing folder which echoes the pattern on the DSP. Both hearts are popped on the card front with dimensionals.
The sentiment and cake from the Attention Shoppers stamp set are stamped in Basic Gray. I colored the cake with Stampin' Blends and after die cutting added it and the sentiment strip to the card front. You can't tell from the photo but I colored the candle flames with clear Wink of Stella.
For embellishments I added a baker's twine bow and a few Summer Splash In Color Shimmer Gems.
Thanks again to the Seize the Birthday team for letting me join them.
