Seize the Birthday - Floral

This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is Floral.  Of course, it's always "Anything Goes" if you don't want to do the topping.

We have a new Surprise Party Guest for April and May.  Her name is Patti.  Welcome, Patti!  Please visit her blog and leave her some love.




I bought my very first Altenew stamp set, and it is called Peony Bouquet.  I live in Indiana, and the peony is our state flower.  This one was so beautifully done and really showcases this big, beautiful flower.  I'm sure I will be shopping Altenew again very soon!  The sentiment is from PTI, and the background piece is from Heidi Swapp.  I purchased some of her pre-toner pads and used my Minc Mini and some gold foil.  I really love my Minc mini!

Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest, Patti, have made this time.  I hope you will come and play along!

The Recipe:

Altenew Peony Bouquet
PTI Bold Blossoms - sentiment
Mink Mini gold foil
