I'm also joining in with Seize the Birthday, where the toppings is to use a silhouette on your birthday card.
From the TTT board, I chose the center column - something that flies, die cut and layers - but it could easily go across the bottom row as well.
I'm quite smitten with these Waffle Flower Postage Collage products, so this won't be the last you'll see in the next few weeks. When I lived in Oregon, our house was about a mile from a National Wildlife Refuge, so my husband and I would frequently walk the 3.5 mile path around it. There were always herons, storks, ducks, geese, hawks, eagles, deer, frog, etc. (depending on the time of year, of course) and when I saw this particular Lake Sunset stamp set, it reminded me of those times (except no waterlilies there). I also used a couple of bird stamps from two other PC sets.
I used the Postage Collage Blocks die, which cut out the little panels, that were then ink blended before adding the silhouette images. The Postage Collage die was cut from a white panel and then the little panels were added using foam tape. The sentiment is from an Altenew mini stamp set. The postage panel was matted with an aqua panel then added to the card front. I didn't add any of the postage elements, such as first class or the cancellation mark, because I just love the wildlife scene as is, but it's always an option for another card.
The Tic Tac Toe challenge is always fun, with so many options for creating, I do hope you'll join us this week. The challenge will remain open until Friday, July 4th at 3pm EDT (Happy Independence Day to those in the US!). But before you head off, please take a minute to pop over to the challenge blog for a bevy of inspiration from my talented teammates.
Thanks for visiting and take care!
