Happy Anniversary

Hi Friends, I am thrilled to be asked to Guest Star for The Color Throwdown Challenge!

 They provided a elegant, colorful floral color palette and inspiration photo to work with. You've got to play this week!

I had to pull out my WPlus9 Ranunculus stamp set. The golden flatware inspired me to gold heat emboss my image and I colored the blooms with Copic markers. I used more gold powder to heat emboss the Verve sentiment. (The inside says ...a happy anniversary). The Pretty Pink Posh scalloped frame was die cut with gold foil cardstock. I added a few tiny black splatters and sparkling clear sequins to finish it. 

My in-laws our celebrating 70 years married next week! I was thrilled to use the Color Throwdown #558 to make their card. 

Make sure you check out the design teams' cards as well. Thanks for stopping by!

Seize the Birthday -Use a Bird or Birds

Hi There, This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is to use "a bird or birds" on your card. It's the perfect chance for me to use my new Pretty Pink Posh "Hummingbird Thanks" stamps and dies. I also used PPP "Pretty Petunias". The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Thoughtful Messages" set, which was white heat embossed on black card stock.

For the bird and flowers I stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black on Bristol CS and colored with Zig watercolor markers. I enhanced them a bit with white gel pen.

The background panel is embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Birds and Swirls, I believe.

I had a hard time with the bird, just wasn't sure how to color, but worked it out. Next time will be better!
