All the birthday cards in the gallery for the last challenge are fabulous, whether you participated in The Great Divide Toppings challenge or went for the Anything Goes category! The new Toppings is Water.
"Water"
I took the challenge a couple of different ways, creating a water scene and using watercolor techniques.
First a watercolor panel was colored with Wilted Violet Distress Ink and then cut with the Memory Box Octopus die. Another watercolor panel was smooshed with layers of Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks and then cut with the PTI Waves Coverplate.
About half the wave pieces were adhered to the card base before the octopus, sequins and raindrop eyes were added. A sentiment from MFT's Brushstroke Birthday stamp set finish this card off.
As always, you can play along with Seize the Birthday in the Anything Goes category, just as long as you stick to the birthday theme!
Thanks so much to Nancy and the Design Team for having me as the Surprise Party Guest for the last couple of months!
