Seize the Birthday - Soft and Simple

This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is Soft and Simple.  Of course, it's always "Anything Goes" if you don't want to do the topping as long as it's for a birthday.  Here is how I was inspired.




I sponged  Distress Ink on watercolor paper and added some water drops and paint splatters for the background.  I chose the Jungle Friends set from MFT for the die cuts and the sentiment.

Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guest, Monika,  have made this time.  I hope you will play along with us.

This will be my last post as a member of the design team.  Life is getting in the way and I need to step back and focus my attentions in other areas.  I still plan on puttering around in my craft room anytime I can.  Many thanks to all of the wonderful ladies on this team.  I will miss all of you!

The Recipe:
MFT Jungle Friends
Distress Ink
Splatters
