Seize the Birthday Challenge

This is a nice change for me.  I rarely use colored card bases.  Not sure why either as they do look really good.

For my card I was totally inspired by Joy Taylor's card.  I instantly loved it, and figured I could use the images I had to make it, so I did.

Isn't it totally cute!  I love it. 😁 I used the retired MFT Birthday Girl.  While this particular set is retired, they have many other Birthday Girl sets. For the cupcake, it is a digital from STAMPlorations; Cupcake Blooms and Coffee.

I just loved the way Joy had her dress match the background paper.  Yeah, I thoroughly enjoy this card, and making it!

Your turn.  Come on over and join in the Seize the Birthday Challenge.  Remember, while the colored card base is optional, being a birthday card is not.


Thanks for stopping by~

Like how you used your birthday girl and cupcake images together, Vicki. The plaid background and dress combo is a sweet touch (in addition to that lucious cupcake-lol). tfs-stay well.

OMGoodness! That cupcake looks delicious and it makes a great card. I see that you paper pieced the dress and it is spunky.
