Welcome! Yesterday I needed a birthday card for a family friend who turned 81. . . Whoa. . . That's a lot of history! I started with Papertrey Ink's Make a Wish set and paired it with some Pink Paislee Cupid Collection paper from my stash.
I stamped the birthday cake twice--Versamagic Key Lime and Sea Breeze on the first image (one of each end of the stamp), and Versamagic Pink Grapefruit on the second piece. I trimmed both images, then cut the center from the Pink Persimmon layer and glued it to the Key Lime/Sea Breeze layer.
For the patterned green trim I used a Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Borderabilities Petite. I wanted to mat it with Berry Sorbet cardstock and figured that the simplest way would be to cut both pieces with the same die, and then cut the mat layer down the center and align it where I wanted to on the edges--worked like a charm!
I used a Copic Y21 to color the candle flames, going outside the lines to get a warm candle glow and softening that glow with a Colorless Blender. Next I added some Prisma Gitter with a glue pen to the flames centers. Ribbon is Papertrey Berry Sorbet Satin.
How about an appropriate inside sentiment? Papertrey Ink's Make a Wish Additions had it covered! That's it--one card closer to a new year. Thanks for stopping by!
