Hello, We have a milestone celebration starting over at Seize the Birthday! It is our 200th challenge and we have some really good prizes up for grabs too! I couldn’t have reached this milestone without my fabulous team! You must go check it out! For our topping this time you have to create a card and or project that is inspired by our graphic. For this challenge we want you to make a card and/or project that is inspired by the graphic below. Whether it be the colors, the balloons, the watercolor vibe, or the numbers, etc. Whatever sparks your creativity. However for this challenge only, we are asking you to explain in your post how exactly you were inspired! Not only am I personally giving away 2 $25 dollar Simon Says Gift Certificates for our 2 top winners, we even have an additional 4 Mystery prizes up for grabs also.
Card Details: I first made my own background with some Oxide Inks and an MS punch which I used as a stencil. Then colored my sweet Ele from MFT with Copics and Prismas. The black letters are from MFT too. I think it’s pretty evident that I pulled the colors and the balloons from our graphic for my inspiration. Even the black letters represent the lettering on our graphic as well.
So make sure you head on over to Seize the Birthday for ALL the details and guidelines. It’s going to be fun!
See you there, Nanc’

I hadn’t thought of using my (mostly neglected) punches as the base for a stencil – so smart! Love the multicoloured balloon background. Then there’s your cute little elephant with his own bunch of balloons! Definitely a card for a celebration.
