Seize the Birthday #312

 

Hello my Crafty Friends!  

As you're reading this I am back up in SC supervising a new flooring install immediately followed by another trip to NC for more painting.  I'm all rested up and ready to go .... after I get caught up with my Design Team duties, that is.

Today I'm sharing a simple card I create for our latest Seize the Birthday challenge, hosted by Linda.  She has chosen a very classic combination of Black and White as the (optional) Topping.  We also have a new DT member joining us.  Please welcome Nance Salkeld to the Seize the Birthday team!  We're excited to have her join us.

Onto my card ....

I'm giving a few really old Mama Elephant supplies some love today, combining three sets to create this design.  I stamped/cut that cute little panda and plopped his adorable bottom onto an open book created with black cardstock and white embossing powder.  I stamped the birthday book sentiment to a die cut panel which was then matted with another die cut panel for some added interest.  I haven't used enamel dots in ages but thought they were the perfect embellishment for this simple card.  As a member of two different book clubs I have a large assortment of book themed supplies and was thrilled to dust a few off.

Supplies:

Mama Elephant - Bookworm stamp and die set

Mama Elephant - Goodreads stamp set

Mama Elephant - Peek a Frame die set

I invite you to visit our blog for more wonderful black and white inspiration.   If you'd like to be considered for a Surprise Party Guest gig you must use the Topping however we choose and feature regular birthday cards as part of our challenge.  We would love to see yours in the gallery! 

Thanks so much for visiting!
