Birthday Sundaes Challenge #34

Welcome to another Birthday Sundaes challenge! I was so super excited for this one, it's an anything goes challenge with a birthday theme!  It's been a while since I made an anything goes birthday card:)

Make sure to visit the Birthday Sundaes DT for more inspiration here and also... Happy Birthday Tracey!! Tracey is even sponsoring this challenge with an AWESOME prize for the winner!!

On to my card:

I LOVE the Florals Embellished cart.  It has such beautiful images on it.  You might want to play with the colors though, because they are a bit loud as they are shown on the cart.

I'm crazy about the butterflies on this cartridge.

I also used one of my favorite carts, Elegant Edges for the card base.  Here is a side view.  It turned out so pretty!

I've been seeing people do something I've been wanting to try out for a while.  I adhered the shadow onto the card and then added pop dots to the butterfly and adhered it to the shadow.  I loved it! It gave the butterfly dimension in a totally different way.  I'm glad I finally gave that a try!

Carts: Elegant Edges and Florals Embellished

Paper: SU!, Recollections, DCVW

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #23- Color Challenge

Hello!  This week at Birthday Sundaes we have a pink, green, and white challenge for you.  You can also use neutrals as needed.  This is one of my favorite color schemes ever! You can see that in my previous work, and most likely in lots of my future work too :) 

This week Sue is generously offering the prize for the winner of this challenge.  It's a large Oval Scallops Nestabilities set. Please stop by and check out the DT's beautiful work and enter your card here. 

Here is my card:

Can you believe that most of this flower was meant to be green?  Yeah, I couldn't believe it either!  I basically cut this flower twice.  One in green and one in pinks.  I then cut the top of the flower off at the base of the stem and adhered the pink flower in its place.  So much prettier!

I heat embossed the sentiment and dry embossed the background with a SU! Stripes folder. 

 I also popped up the flower and added some stitching all around the card and some parts of the flower. Here is another view of this card.

This is Kristie's birthday month and our challenges are based around her favorite things.  This color scheme is awesome!!  I love this card!! 

Happy Birthday Kristie!

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #13/Polka Doodles Week 24

I made this card for my best friend who is having a birthday soon.  I used the Florals Embellished cartridge for the butterfly.   The card base is from Twinkle Toes.  This is my new favorite card! I keep saying that every time I make a new card :o)

I embossed the background with the Swiss Dots folder.
