Seize the Birthday Challenge - Framed

 

I tell you, I'm having a couple of weeks, and to be honest, they haven't been great!  Today, I got a super card made [for this challenge], got this post written up was ready to hit the schedule button, when I realized IT WASN'T A BIRTHDAY CARD!!  Oyie Vey

I quickly made a birthday card, and here it is;

I did the coloring of an embossing folder emboss.  I like this technique.  Huge potential. And I also used some silver embossing.  I sure don't do that very often anymore.  It's always fun to visit a-long-not-used product.

I also like the postage stamp framing die that I used.  Works for me, and works for this challenge!

Your turn -- Come on over to Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  The "framed" is optional, being a birthday card is not.



Thanks for stopping by~

Sorry that you are having a couple of rough weeks, but you sure can't tell it from this amazing card. I am over the top enjoying your card. I love the sentiment as I get tired of the same Happy Birthday card.

Not a birthday card - just indicates the weeks you're having! Hope things smooth out soon. But you recovered nicely with this birthday beauty!

Your quickly made birthday card is lovely. I like how you colored the embossing and the silver leaves is a great touch.

Blue and silver make a very elegant and classy birthday card, Vicki! That happened to me already several times that I forget to add a birthday sentiment to my DT card :)!
