Tall & skinny for Seize the Birthday

Hi there!

The optional twist this week at Seize the birthday, is to make a tall & skinny card.

For sure it's only an option, and you can join the fun with any newly created Birthday card!

My card is a little skinnier than normal, not so much taller though!







I use an cutting file from the silhouette on-line store (altered).

I added some shimmery textured paper and a few gems to jazz it up!

Sentiment stamp from Uniko studios.

Hope to see you in the STB gallery!

    Good on ya for venturing into the 'tall & skinny' lane! I've tried this before and it just felt off! Your card is soooo cool though (love the paper) that I might just try to 'go there' again!

    Ek is deesdae nogal lief daarvoor om met tall en skinny kaartjies te werk - ek maak myne gewoonlik ook net smaller en bly by my standard hoogte. Ek is mal oor daai pienk papier en die swart lyk so treffend daarop!!! Hou van die bietjie bling wat jy opgesit het!!! Die bree swart rand maak die hele ontwerp regtig treffend!!!! Baie goed gedoen, vrou!!!!
