Hi! I am back with a card which I made for a very dear friend. After a very long time, I actually made a card at one go. Normally my projects take couple of days, since I have to craft around a very active toddler.
I used the sketch from Retro Sketches #100.
The theme and colour palette is from Beyond Grey Challenges' BGC #45 - Colour Palette + Sweet tooth.
I decided to make a Center Step Card, the tutorial is available at Splitcoaststampers.
Supplies used are white handmade paper, yellow card stock and various scraps of pattern papers from my stash.
The cake is a digital stamp from Paperprintables and the sentiment is from Create with TLC. Both are free downloads.
I coloured the image using Faber Castell sketch pens. The stars were done with a gold glitter pen. I also used glitter pens in pink, gold, blue and orange to accentuate the sentiment.
The sentiment inside is again a freebie from Create with TLC and I continued with the banner theme inside.
I also decorated the envelope quickly, with some left over triangles.
Entering this card in the following challenges:
Retro Sketches - #100
I used their lovely sketch
Beyond Grey Challenges - BGC #45 - Colour Palette + Sweet Tooth
I used the image of a cake and the all the colours in the palette.
Paper Players - PP#181 - Anne Marie's Theme Challenge
I used the image of a cake.
Love,
Nan
