Seize The Birthday - Use Your Favourite Colour


 Hello, we've got a new challenge at Seize The Birthday - Use Your Favourite Colour, hosted by JoAnn.

It was hard to narrow it down to one colour, but I do always like to see and to use teal/turquoise/aqua - any variation.  I find it a very calming colour.

My card uses a Unity Stamp for the main image and a Gina K stamp for the sentiment.  I actually made the background from scratch to match this theme rather than look through my stash of mop-ups.  I used Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers, with a touch of Rusty Hinge for balance, then I ran it through an embossing folder for texture.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday website to see the favourite colours of the rest of the design team and our Surprise Party Guests and join in the fun.  If you don't want to keep to your favourite colour, you can always play along under our Anything Goes theme.

  2. Such a fun card, Shirley! I too love any ton of teal. Of course you made that incredible background. I thought for sure it was paper. Well done!

  3. I'm very much inspired by your card Shirley as I have teenage granddaughter having a birthday soon. She no longer wants little girlie or fluffy birthday cards and this one would be perfect. The colors that you used are also enchanting. Guess I need to look at Unity stamps.
