Birthday cake

Hello, a special someone is soon having a birthday and I have made this card for her.

I have used Magnolia's 'Summer cake' stamp to create this shaker card.

I cannot tell you which copics I used, as my daughter decided to colour too

and moved the ones I had been using. Argh!

Papers are Bo Bunny, Sweet Tooth Collection.

Dies are Magnolia and a Martha Stewart punch.

Have an awesome week

I've been getting busy again creating more cards, I really had forgotten how relaxing it can be to just sit and create. I really am so glad my wrists seem to be back to normal. Simply Magnolia begins a new Colour Combo challenge today, and we are kindly sponsored by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop aswell as Stamping Tilda. Below is the picture for inspiration and

I love how pretty these colours are together.

I have coloured Tilda with Ugg Shoes using my copics and masked it with

Magnolia's Barbed wire fence stamp.

The sentiment and it's matching die is from Whimsy stamps.

I have also used Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die and Magnolia's fence, butterfly

and swirl leaf dies. There is some glitter on the butterflies and flowers, although the photo doesn't show it. Embellishments are mostly from The Ribbon Girl.

dragonfly charm, rose and pearl organza, beaded clear crystal leaves,
and liquid pearls, all of these products are from The Ribbon Girl.
