Seize the Birthday #329-Blue, Pink and Yellow

Hello Crafters, Barb here, and it is my turn to be the host for this next challenge here at Seize the Birthday. We have a topping for you to use, but if you would rather just make a birthday-themed card, that will work as well. 

For my challenge, I have picked the colors of Blue, Pink, and Yellow. You can do a pale or more dramatic look with brighter colors, but you must use all three colors.  You can include the neutrals, like black and white, but NO gold or silver for this one. 
   
Before I go, I would like to take a moment and thank Kathy P for being with us the past two months as our Surprise Party Guest.  We have certainly enjoyed our time with you and hope you have enjoyed yourself too!  Take care and hope to see you in the gallery soon. 

Now, let's go see what the team has made for us! 

Our "Topping" option this time is...




If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!
The choice is yours!


Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

Seize the Birthday #328-Use Vellum or Acetate

Hello Crafters, Ashwini here as your hostess for this challenge. I have chosen the topping to 'Use Vellum or Acetate Sheets'.  I am not sure there is a crafter out there who doesn't have one of these products just waiting to be used.  Of course, we still have our 'Anything Goes' as an option, if you prefer!

Before we get to the amazing cards below, we also have an additional Surprise Party Guest, Kerry P, with us today.  Kerry was the overall winner of our previous challenge using our Topping. Welcome, Kerry! We are all happy to have you with us!
