Seize The Birthday - Butterflies or Hummingbirds

 

Hello!  We've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Butterflies or Hummingbirds.

Not much call for hummingbirds in this part of the world, but I've got plenty of butterflies.  This one is from Visible Image.  The background is a gel print, the main mask/stencil from Simon Says Stamp.  The sentiment is from Wow!

I had another similar background, so I stamped another butterfly from the set to make this blank card:

STAMPlorations Inspiration #366

Steppin' out in style with this card for my STAMPlorations Tuesday Inspiration post.  I used Groovy Platform Shoes, which is available in the Outlet Store if you fancy a bargain!

I stamped the image with InkOn3 Fade-Out ink, then watercoloured using Distress Inks.  I watercoloured an extra piece of card with the same colours and diecut the Birthday sentiment.

Seize The Birthday - Signs of Spring

 

Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Signs of Spring, chosen by Lindsey.  How appropriate that the song 'Blackbird' by The Beatles is playing randomly in the background.

The diecuts and script stamp are Tim Holtz, can't remember whose stamps I used for the sentiment.

Check out how the rest of the team and our guest designer Deepti have interpreted the theme over on the blog, then come and join us!  If the spring theme isn't your bag, you can still play along with Anything Goes as long as it's birthday-themed.
