*Seize The Birthday w/ Optional Topping: Monochromatic

Good morning-
Did you see that we have changes things up a little bit at "Seize The Birthday".
So our fortnightly challenge, will still be "Anything Birthday", but now we have added a "topping" option to the mix. 
This weeks topping is:
MONOCHROMATIC
I decided to go with an elegant glow of yellow, embossing and vellum.
The embossing is Anna Griffin: Poppy.  It is really a gorgeous embossing folder.
My stamps are from Inspired By Stamping: Summer Flowers, Vintage Banner stamped on vellum and embossed in white embossing powder.  The flowers are colored on the reverse side, with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Small Fancy Label 18.  I just masked the bottom half  of the sentiment, before stamping.

So I hope that you will join us this week and come visit Seize The Birthday and see all the amazing cards created this week.

I would like to enter the following challenge:

Hugs,
Calypso
