Anything Goes at Seize the Birthday!


Another Seize the Birthday Thursday, and time for another of our topping-free, ANYTHING GOES challenges - if it's a birthday card, we'd love to see it! Last time we had an anything goes challenge, I test-drove a Concord & 9th turnabout stamp for this card, and I thought it would be fun to use it again for today, but in a different way: 


This time I also used the coordinating dies for this stamp, adding blossoms in blue and leaves in green over the central stamped image. I also tucked a birthday sentiment flag under the leaves and let it overlap the matted panels to the edge of the card. 
I'm adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday challenge: spring flowers, as well as the regular Wednesday challenge: no designer paper. 


My Seize the Birthday teammates, as well as our surprise party guest, Tenia, have lots of birthday inspiration - hope you'll come and join the party! 


Supplies: Neenah white & various coloured cardstock, American Crafts black glitter paper, Concord & 9th Everyday Bouquet Turnabout & Clearly Besotted Many Mini Messages stamps, Versafine onyx black, Memento bamboo leaves & Altenew blush, Caribbean sky & midnight violet inks, Wow clear embossing powder, Concord & 9th Everyday Bouquet, Sugar Pea Designs Card Front Element Builder & (?) stitched sentiment die

I love how these die cuts are nestled in the stamped images. Makes for a pleasing card and easy to do. I was wanting a turnabout stamp but I was too cheap to buy one. Then I found this youtube video and found it very fun.
