Hey, peeps, it's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday. Cathy is our host for this challenge and she wants us to add a star to our birthday project.
This card sort of fell together. I've been having a massive sort-out in my craft room (but you'd never know it), and the white and red panel had landed near the red and yellow dotted paper. The stamped and coloured Eiffel Tower panel was nearby. I rummaged through my stash of stars and found that this Tim Holtz star mimicked the shape of the Eiffel Tower perfectly. The penny farthing is a printout that's been in my stash for ages, and the diecut birthday sentiment is from The Stamp Market.
I had to add some bling to my tower to remind me of seeing it light up and sparkle when Jenny and I took a night-time open-top bus trip in Paris last year, quite a magical experience.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team and from our surprise party guests, and join in the fun. If stars aren't your thing, you can still join in with any birthday-themed project.
What a wonderful collage of colorful patterns and panels Shirley! I almost missed the star - it blends so well into the shape of the Eiffel tower! Julia
ReplyDeleteThese elements work so well together! Great collage style card and clever use of the star, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteIt was meant to be and I love the story of how this came together. Often when cleaning or reorganizing, I just toss out the bits and pieces. You have made a seriously fine card for your scraps. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteFun collage card! Hope your cleaning out is going well it is a tough job but so gratifying when you are done.
ReplyDeleteScraps! Oh well done!! Love all the layers and the "your style" of star too :)
ReplyDeleteTake a bow for getting all of these random elements to work so beautifully together!!! This is awesome and I love your little story. I am a bit jealous though that you've seen the tower in person. LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat collage card Shirley. I like your use of that Tim Holtz star die cut.
ReplyDeleteShirley, you collage of patterned papers is perfect for your star card along with your little story.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Shirley. I am always in awe of people that can pull this collage kind of card and make it look so magical and wonderful. Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the collage, Shirley. The papers look great together and make for such an interesting card!
