Happy Thursday! It's time for a new Seize the Birthday challenge, and we have a fun *topping* for you this time: RAINBOW COLOURS! Of course, if you are not in the mood for rainbow colours, we love to see any new birthday cards in our gallery.
I used this topping as the perfect excuse to try a new stencil I recently ordered:
These rainbow-coloured balloons make for a bright and fun card! Eleven different distress ink colours, with the overlapping balloons providing even more shades. I didn't want to distract too much from the balloons, so I added an inlaid die cut sentiment, cut from silver foil cardstock. For a final touch, I added some clear confetti, that look silver when they reflect the light. Since my stencil is seeing ink for the first time, I'm adding this to Darnell's August NBUS challenge.
There is, of course, a rainbow of inspiration on the Seize the Birthday blog, from the design team and our continuing surprise party guest, Jen!
Supplies: Neenah white, Stampin' Up basic black & Ranger silver foil cardstock, spun sugar, picked raspberry, candied apple, carved pumpkin, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, lucky clover, salty ocean, chipped sapphire, shaded lilac & wilted violet distress inks, Studio Katia Birthday Balloons Duo stencil, Paper Smooches birthday words & Sugar Pea Designs card element builder dies, Studio Katia crystal clear confetti

Great card, Lindsey, perfect for the theme. I'm really going to have to get my thinking cap on for this one, Jo x
Beautifully done card, great use of the rainbow colours, I'm with Dotty Jo some real stretching of the mind since mojo isn't doing it's job.
Love the bright rainbow balloons! Your card design is simple yet so pretty with a hint of shine and bling!
What a pretty and classy card. As it is one layer a great one to mail off too. I love the blended of the many colors of balloons that you did with that stencil.
What a fun and festive card. I love your colored balloon party. You managed to use almost every color in the world, and yet kept the colors distinct with no muddiness. Leaving here very inspired!!
Beautiful balloon blending, Lindsey! You can't beat balloons for making a birthday card festive! I love how you inlaid the silver sediment and the stitched scalloped border you used! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
Your balloons are placed, stamped, and blended so fabulously! This is an outstanding card my dear! HUGS!
So fun with the rainbow colored balloons. Very celebratory card
This is fabulous. Love your perfect rainbow balloons.
(I think I would have smudged ink everywhere)

Awesome card, love how translucent the balloons look, perfect ink blending and a gorgeous design, Cathy x
So bright and pretty. Love your balloons.
How does random placement feel so right?!?! It looks like the stencil came that way (you know those layered stencils that are oh-so-common nowadays)! Totally love it! And I love the pairing of the inlaid sentiment in silver - its perfect!!
Love the fun and colorful balloon background.
Love how bright and cheerful this is.
11 colours! Fabulous! Love the effect of the overlaps - gorgeous & cheerful card.
Now that’s a party on a card! Love those rainbow balloons 🎈
If there's such a thing as a perfect birthday card, this is it! The balloons, the colours, the gold inlay sentiment...awesome combination! Love it! Eleven distress inks? That's a workout!
