I had a brand new Pure Innocence stamp set (Apple of My Eye) from MFT that I made work with the colors and came up with this birthday card...
Isn't she a cutie picking her Granny Smith apples?!! I stamped her in versafine black onyx ink and heat embossed with clear so I could use my Copics without any smearing. After die cutting her with the coordinating die I adhered her to a card base of Parakeet Party (SU!) that I added a die cut layer of Starry Sky (SU!) using a cover plate die from PTI called Lotty Dotty.
I did add a small rectangle of white card so my sweet little apple picking girl didn't get lost among all the navy and lime green dots. I did put foam tape behind her for a little separation too, and then added my birthday banner that I stamped on a die cut strip of Parakeet Party cs. I finished with a couple clear gems from Trinity Stamps.

She's just as cute as can be, Marcia! I love the fun, polka dotted background. You're coloring is spot on too!
Darling card, Marcia! Your coloring is fabulous too! I am going to have to pass that Granny Smith apple to the hubster, as they are his favorite. Awesome idea for the colors! So happy you played with both Seize the Birthday and Color Hues.
A+ for the way you used the colors, Marcia. That little girl is darling and I would definitely wear those colors together - one of my favs.
You absolutely made it work, Marcia! Love the polka dotty background and those PI girls never disappoint. This is just as cute and sweet as it can be!
This is just the cutest thing ever...I love those little girls and your colors are so very striking, brilliant idea my friend! And oh, the Lotty Dotty cover plate was an awesome way to get more of the background color! Her colored your little girl so cute! thanks for playing with us at STB! Heart Hugs!
That white rectangle is the perfect spotlight for your cutie.
That little girl is just adorable, and I love that polka-dot background! It's a great card, Marcia, and thanks for helping us celebrate at Color Hues!
Perfect card for these colors, Marcia! Love how you've colored her and the Granny Smith apple! Great background too, my friend!
Marci, those Pure Innocence stamps are always so sweet, and she looks great in the challenge colours! Thank you so much for celebrating with us at the Color Hues for our birthday challenge!
Just loving her apple-picking outfit, Marcia! What a darling birthday card for their celebration!
Granny Smith's are still a favorite but we found a new-to-us apple at the orchard last weekend called Blondie! Any apple covered with caramel is my favorite - wink.
