Seize the Birthday Guest DT

 I was thrilled to be the Surprise Party Guest designer this time around for the Seize the Birthday Challenge!


You can always do anything goes or play along with their "topping". The topping this time is:


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Focus on the Sentiment

Make My Monday - Embossing Wet or Dry

Creative Moments #272 - Use a Die Cut

Morgan's Art World - Anything Goes

I created my background by using the ink smooshing technique on watercolor paper with different shades of purple - my favorite color! I then stamped the cool birthday background stamp from Visible Image called Grunge Birthday Words with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I die cut a tag from a light shade of purple cardstock, then die cut the balloon from a darker shade. Peace.
