Seize The Birthday - Blue and Grey

 

Hello, and Happy New Year from the Seize The Birthday challenge!  We're starting off 2022 with a colour challenge chosen by Colleen - Blue and Grey.  This is a great colour scheme for a masculine card.

I used Anita Jeram Conga Line stamp and die to get the party started.  I followed the markings on the packet, but just used Hickory Smoke.  The hats were coloured with Prize Ribbon, and highlights and patterns added with a white Posca paint pen.  The garland is from The Greetery and cut from silver glitter paper.

Pop on over to the Seize the Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and our Surprise Party Guest, Vicki aka Crafting Clare, then play along with us.  If blue and grey don't float your boat, you can always play along with any birthday-themed project.

    Oh this is SOOO fun, Shirley, I love your conga line of animals being very festive! You are right, this is a perfect masculine color combo (as long as you don't use flowers! *wink).

    What a fabulous image that is Shirley and a clever sentiment too. Love that you have your mice on a pale blue background and gave them bright blue hats and the garlands add to the party feel. Thanks for the warm welcome to STB! Vicky x
