Seize the Birthday Challenge

Phoebe and I are off to spend the night with my Mum (Nana) tonight and have a 'girls night'. I'm sure there will be lots of junk food consumed and many Modern Family dvd's watched (can't really watch our usual Horror movies with Phoebe around....). Should be a lot of fun. Not sure if I can take my card making supplies with me yet or not, Phoebe might want me completely all to herself!!
 

This Seize the Birthday challenge has a 'Clean and Simple' theme. I'm not sure my card falls under this idea, so will go with a 'No Topping' theme just incase:


Yep, its that stamp set again!! Love this flower stamp (from Create A Smile 'Botanical Love') so much, I decided to try some masking. It was rather fiddly and something I'm not very confident with but happy with how it turned out. I had to create two masks to get this look. I trimmed the panel down and then stamped and heat embossed the 'wish' in gold (from Create A Smile 'Make a wish'). The panel was then adhered to the card front. I then stamped the 'birthday' from the 'Make a wish' stamp set on a strip of white CS and popped up on foam tape. And to finish off I added two different sized gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

This will be my last entry for the Create A Smile - February Guest Designer Call. I would so love to be a part of their blog for a month, so will be crossing everything I can physically cross for luck!!!!

Better start packing for our overnight adventure. Dave and Max are staying home and having a 'boys night'. I'm sure it will involve KFC/McDonalds and a Star Wars marathon. Think we will all be having a great night!!

Take care
Shona
