STAMPIN' UP! - Happy Birthday to You (2 cards)


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.
