Seize the Birthday - Dimensions

This time at Seize the Birthday our topping is Dimensions. Of course, it's always "Anything Goes" if you don't want to do the topping as long as it's for a birthday.

At the completion of this challenge, we will be saying goodbye to our Surprise Party Guest, Patti.  We have enjoyed having her playing along with us for the months of April and May, and sharing her beautiful cards with everyone.




I started my card by mixing some pink re-inker with a little Dap Fast 'N Final Lightweight Spackling and applied it to a Gingham Stencil by Simon Says Stamps.  The stamp set I used is from PTI and is called Nostalgic Notions and Embroidered Borders.  The flowers were stamped in shades of pink and orange and popped up with pop dots.  The greeting was stamped in Versa Mark and embossed in black on a strip of Vellum.

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

SSS Gingham Stencil

  7. WOW!!! this is SO pretty. Your spackled background is fantastic and I love how you added a couple more bold colors on the beautiful soft pink. The sentiment on the angled piece of vellum is the perfect final touch.
