Seize the Birthday: goes Dotty

Hi everyone I had such a fabulous time being the Guest Designer for Seize the Birthday in August and September I didn't want to miss their next challenge. I'm rather shocked to see I haven't actually entered any challenges for "fun" for nearly 2 months but it's now 5 weeks since my surgery and I spent the last week tidying up my craft room; so really pleased I am managing to squeeze in an entry for STB's latest challenge. As always it's a birthday card plus the choice of playing along with the topper. I love the topper option it helps me to focus. The current challenge's topper is "dots" and I had too many ideas so glad I told myself to just make a card today, as eek I only have 17 hours to enter ... too much thinking which is always my problem.

I have gone with an easy design using the fab stencil by Alex Syberia Designs where each layer adds another colour. The last time I used this stencil it moved on me and I only managed to add two colours (you can see that card HERE) but I really wanted to use all 5 this time so used a sticky mat to hold everything in place. My colours have faded back quite a lot, so now wishing I had used the next darkest ink colour but ca la vie, it's still a fun birthday card which came together easily. I've added 2 die cuts behind the glitter one for dimension and stability.


Supply List:
Ink (all PFS), Sparkling Rose, Lemon Whip, Apricot, Grassy Knoll, Summer Shower
Stencil: Confetti (ASD)
Paper: Neenah Solar white, Black glitter (CTMH)
Die: Happy Birthday Script (MFT)
Challenge: STB#293

  3. Those colourful dots are messing with my brain, Karen! The bold black sentiment is the perfect balance. Thanks for playing along with my Dots challenge at STB.

    1. It's such a cool, clever stencil Shirley-Bee. It does my head in a bit how it can possibly work as well.
