Seize the Birthday #278 Red as Main Color - JoAnn


Another different card for me, no flowers or butterflies.  Trying to change things up a little this year.
JoAnn is our wonderful host for the second challenge of February on STB.  She would like us to use red as the main color.  Easy for me as red is one of my favorite colors.  
I used Winnie & Walter Ring in the Celebration stamp set in CP's Rockin' Red ink.  A strip of PTI's patterned paper and some Gina K's black Pearls.
And my all-time favorite birthday sentiment from PTI's Birthday Bash

Seize the Birthday - Splatter - Glenda


Welcome back to a new STB challenge.
 Glenda is our host for this challenge, and she would like us to use splatter on our cards.
I went out of my comfort zone and made a masculine card.  It was inspired by a couple of cards on Gina K.'s FB page.  Come look at all of the amazing inspiration by our team and join us to build up your birthday card stash.
I ink blended with Gina K. inks and used her Friendly Silhouettes stamp set.
Used a PTI wood grain die to impress on the outer frame and streaked with Gina's brown ink.
Splattered with white acrylic ink.

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!

 Wanda Cullen was the overall winner from our last challenge using our topping.
