Happy Monday All!
I was in need of a masculine wintertime birthday card so when I spotted the theme at Seize the Birthday blog, I knew what I wanted to create. Plus, my friend Barb is hosting and it's always nice to support our friends!! So here we go . . .
The theme for the Seize the Birthday Challenge #318 is 'Make Your Own Snowflake Background'.
I began by sponging Brilliance 'Ice Blue' ink onto a white card stock panel then used an old Darice Snowflake Embossing Folder part way down the panel. Using scraps of white paper, I tore along the top edge and adhered them together on the bottom & sides to create my snow drifts.
The cute little deer are old Poppystamps dies (Cute Fawn & Curious Fawn).
The background 'Love Birds' is a die by Elizabeth Craft which I die cut from a scrap of white card stock and colored using my Tombow markers.
After taking another scrap of white card stock which I sponged on the same Brilliance 'Ice Blue' ink, I die cut my sentiment using the Tutti Designs 'Happy' & 'Birthday'.

What a darling winter scene, and just perfect for a masculine birthday. The snowflake background is so pretty. Those cardinals stand out beautifully among the wintry background.
ReplyDeleteWell hello Darlene love to see you here! your snowflake card and these lovely deer frolicking in the snow banks are super cute. And I'm so glad that you added those red birds, I'm assuming they're Cardinals because that makes me happy. Thanks so much for joining in with this challenge. I'm very happy to see you here.
