This stamp set is such a pretty design. It could make a great card to use for a wedding or bridal shower as well as birthdays. I stamped the design using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the card front (a heavy card stock) but even with this light color it showed through on the inside. I trimmed it down so that the Balmy Blue Frame could be placed on top.
I colored with SU BLenders Light & Dark Balmy Blue, Light Olive and a Gray Copic marker for the cake stand. Then I used a portion of the stamp to do the individual flower which I fussy cut and added to the card with a foam square.
This card was done using SU Blenders Light & Dark So Saffron, Light Olive, a touch of Calypso Coral and Soft Suede for the cake stand. I also used a set of stitched rectangles for both the So Saffron mat and the White stamped piece. When I fussy cut a second flower from the stamped image, this time I added it to the top flower on the cake. I really like this set!
Last Saturday I participated in a second Summertime Creative Retreat which was put on by five very talented and fun Stampin' Up! demonstrators. I hope to have some new cards from that retreat to post here very soon.
Thank you for coming by today!

What a pretty cake, Vicki! Love it in both blue and yellow. I agree - a super wedding or anniversary card. Happy Monday:) Can't wait to see your cards from the retreat.
Pretty, pretty cards. It was such a good idea to stamp and fussy-cut one of the flowers for some extra dimension, too. This image would be so easy to coordinate with the wedding colors.
