Seize the Birthday...Guest Designer...Mini Penguins





Hello there.  I am back with another card for the latest Seize the Birthday challenge.  In case you were wondering, I have been the Surprise Guest Designer for January and February.  This is my last card/post as Surprise Guest Designer.  It has been a lot of fun, and big thanks to the team at STB for inviting me to their party.

This week, our challenge is Sentiment as Focal Image.  I used the Mama Elephant Big Happy Birthday die to create my sentiment focal point.  To add interest to my card, I sponged and blended a background to contrast with the white die cut, as well as sprinkled a scattering of festive mini penguins around the sentiment.






I hope you will play along with us at Seize the Birthday this week.  Remember, 'Sentiment as Focal Image' is an optional topping, and you are always welcome to play along with any birthday card you make.

I look forward to seeing what you create.



Thanks for Visiting
