Seize the Birthday has a new challenge up. They always offer a generic birthday option, but the topping this time is “Dots and Stripes.”
I have a birthday card for a friend that I think meets the “dots” part of the challenge.
The white diecut background, “Diamond Background” by Simon Says, was backed with Papertrey Ink’s Raspberry Fizz cardstock. Then I die cut “Happy,” (My Favorite Things) twice—once in Raspberry Fizz and another in True Black to create a shadow effect. I adhered it to the background piece and added the rest of the sentiment, Papertrey Ink’s “Stylish Sentiments: Birthday,” by embossing it in white on black cardstock.
The dots for the challenge are in the form of Nuvo drops that I added to the background piece. They add just the right amount of dimension.
This card is for a teenager, but it could be easily replicated in different colors for both men and women.
