Seize The Birthday - Feature An Animal

We've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday.  Nance is hosting, and she's asking us to Feature an Animal (must be the focal point).

These two come as a pair, The Odd Couple, from The Card Hut, so I had to feature both of them ;).  The stamps were disappointing, because the cover image was much finer than the actual stamps, but I still like the fun images.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more animals from the design team and our surprise party guests.  If you don't want to feature animals, you can still play along with our Anything Goes theme.

See you in the gallery!

STAMPlorations Anything Goes May Challenge

Hello!  A new month and a new challenge over at STAMPlorations, and it's Anything Goes with prizes, see below.

For my card I've used an ATC from the Color Me Spring ATC set, and matted it onto gold card.  For the background I used the Wavy Dots Slimline stencil, picking out colours from the ATC.  Then I stamped images from the Scribbly Splattery Grunge stamp set in Versafine Smoky Grey, then matted that onto my card base.

We do hope you'll play along with us - there are prizes!

- winner of $25 prize code chosen by a STAMPgirl from entries that use STAMPlorations products

- winner of $10 prize code randomly chosen from entries (need not feature a STAMP product)

Simple rules:

- Anything goes, any type of project, any style

- use of STAMPlorations products not a requirement

- link back to the challenge post (if blog entry) or tag @stamplorations if joining via IG

- multiple entries per crafter allowed

- challenge ends 31 May.
