Hello Thursday Afternoon!
I am thrilled to be the Surprise Party Guest today at Seize the Birthday!
🥳 WooHoo! 🥳
This has come at an optimal time as April is a busy birthday month in our family. If you have visited my blog in the last few days you have seen several birthday card posts already. So it has worked out well for me to be Guesting and sharing a special card for my niece.
The toppings for this fortnight is Layer It!

As you see, I did layer it! I've been wanting to play with this butterfly/flower die from Waffle Flower for a few weeks now. I'm a member of the Sneak Peek Club so I got it early before the February release. Yet, you know how it goes sometimes when acquiring new stamps/dies, they sometimes sit patiently for a while before they're given some love. So I pulled it out for this challenge. It also has a coordinating stencil set, which I got also. And there is a separate die set of some butterflies and flowers so you can bump some of them up off the main die if you want. And I wanted! LOL I paired the image dies with an overlapping sentiment die/stencil combo also from Waffle Flower.
I layered it all on top of a very light cream background with a stitched frame that I found in my background ufo box. I love how it gave a little soft tone to the card. I added some sparkle to the middle of the flowers to finish it off.
So please stop over at the Seize the Birthday Challenge blog and check out all the beautiful creations by the fabulously talented Design Team and play along! Use the topping or just make a birthday card and for the always "Anything Goes".

Hello, Nance! Happy to be guest designing with you today, and extra happy to see your pretty layered card with all the flowers and butterflies! Colorful and cheery for a birthday. I'm sure familiar with how new crafty things wait a while before they get used. Some of mine wait a little too long!
Nance, love your pretty Spring colors all layered together to make your beautiful card. Fantastic card and so happy to have you as a Special Guest at Seized the Birthday.
Nance, This birthday card just exudes happiness. Love the colors and the sentiment is super fun too. Thanks for being such a wonderful guest, we love having you with us at Seize the Birthday.
I know that scene very well, where your purchase waits for you to play with it. But this card is amazing, and I am so glad that you used it for our challenge. Seize the Birthday Challenge is proud to have you.
