Unforgettable Birthday

I've been wanting to play in the Tag You're It challenge and when I saw today's SCS CAS challenge - to create a tag or a card with a tag I just had to play!  I already had the cloud background from my Background Check homework.  So I thought this WPlus9 elephant would be perfect to use with this background.  Here is the tag that I was inspired by:

I then realized this might qualify for the Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes with a topping of Things That Fly so I am submitting this to that challenge as well.

Thanks for coming by!

Happy Birthday

Here is another birthday card I created with this week's SCS color challenge colors and for Seize the Birthday challenge which is Anything Goes:

I blended the distress inks through the Simon Says Stamp stencil and then adhered the Memory Box die cut on top.  The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter. A few rhinestones were added to finish it off.

Wishing You a Happy Birthday

This card was created for a few challenges.   The PaperTrey Make it Monday (MIM) challenge is to water color with die cut stencils.  I used the PTI Happy Birthday cover plate to cut out freezer paper to use as the mask.  In the video Lizzy shows how to use removable labels to make the mask.  I ironed on the freezer paper to the water color paper to create a seal so the water color wouldn't seep under the mask. I used the wet on wet water color technique to paint over the die cut using the colors from today's SCS color challenge.

I am also submitting this card to Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes:

Seize The Birthday Challenge #1

There is a new challenge in blogland called Seize The Birthday.  It is all about creating birthday cards. This is the first week and we have a sketch to follow and we are to make feminine cards.  Here is the sketch:

 This card is for a friend in my Temple's Sisterhood who is turning 70 tomorrow.  Inside I stamped the sentiment "and fabulous!"
The patterned papers are from My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing.  The oval die cut is from MFT Die-namics and the number die cuts are from PaperTrey dies.
