Seize The Birthday - Off The Edge


Time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and our theme this time is Off The Edge.  If that's not your thing, you can still play along with any Anything Goes as long as it's birthday-themed.


I die-cut a balloon (Poppystamps), sponged it with distress inks then overlapped it on my smooshed background panel, trimmed it, then added a sentiment from Uniko.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some fab Off The Edge creations, and play along with us.
