Happy Birthday!

 It's time for our New Challenge at

Cut It Up with the Theme -

Add a Sentiment.

The background sure is a fun technique.

A little messy but the result is always spectacular.

Find a deep edged stencil and add bright powders to the

debossed side Spray lightly with water and carefully close

  making sure your card front is faced down 

to get the detail, close gently and run through your machine.

Showing the detail.

I used Lindy's Magicals -

Cowabunga Copper, Bratwurst Brown and

Nuvo Golden Sparkler.

The big Happy Birthday die was cut with

gold paper and a tiny shadow behind in white.

Adhered to white card base.

Pop over and see what my Design Team Mates created

and hope to see your SENTIMENT  card in our Gallery.

Welcome to a New Month of Challenges at

 Just Us Girls

First up is Elizabeth as Host with our Die Challenge

and asking for FLORALS.

Easy eh! as we all have a multitude of flower dies.

I'm excited to give a Big Welcome to 

  Julie Beech as our August Guest.

You are in for a treat.

How good is it when you find leftovers

in your bits box and a card comes together nicely!

Both colours came from it and the plain background

matched nicely from my stash.

Die cut the frames, popping the middle piece.

 The centre die is an old one of Tim's.

Flowers were die cut and layered.

Sentiment is a simple one.

Added a teeny bit of crochet cotton to the stems

finishing with attaching to white card base.

Go on over and check out our Gallery to see what florals

our Talented Guest Julie and Team created.

I'm sure I will see lots of lovelies there this week.
