Rainbow colored birthday card

 Hi,

Cindy here to share another card for this month's challenge theme: Birthday.

I had fun die cutting the scallop pieces in rainbow colors.  I aligned them and adhere on a top fold white card base.  The sentiment I used is from another company, but My Favorite Things (our July sponsor) has plenty birthday sentiment stamps and dies, like these: Raise a Glass, Bright and Happy Birthday, Not-So-Basic Happy Birthday Die-namics, Not-So-Basic Happy Birthday, ...etc.

My Favorite Things is giving a $25 gift card to their store as challenge prize.

So go ahead and make birthday cards with die cut and/or dry embossing and join in the challenge.  Click the 'Monthly Challenge' button on the right side bar to go to the link up post.

Merry Christmas from the Divas

 

Merry Christmas to you all.....

It's Christmas Day and today I have a Birthday card to share!   My friend has a birthday a couple of days ago so I did a floral card for her.   

Our sponsor this month is Altenew. They generously will be giving our winner a $50 gift certificate to their online store. 

And our theme is Flowers -   I'm a big lover of Altenew products and have ALOT.   This month, Altenew kindly provided us with a Build a Garden set.  I chose to get Morning Aster set ... Just love it. 

I used some Altenew Grey ink to stamp the flower and then used the stencils to add the colour.  I used Altenew Burnt Red and Mahogany Bark inks for the flowers and Eucalyptus and Forest Fern for the leaves.   The sentiment is from Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 that I stamped onto a flag die (from LDRS sentiment stack die)   I used the matching die to cut out the flower.  The background was made with Altenew Dotty Circles 3D embossing folder.  I used the ink left on my blender brush to add some blending around the edges. 

As you read this, Christmas Day is almost done here in NZ.   Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas
