Today's card was inspired by this wonderful sketch over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog
My card uses some lovely Sugar Pea Design stamps & dies that I picked up a while back, after I fell head-over-heels for that funky cake design.
I added some clear embossed star cluster images on my white panel, then scattered some single star images stamped in Rose Red along with a few Pretty Pink Posh iridescent sequins for interest. The top tier of the cake was also stamped with tone-on-tone grey with the same star cluster image. The cake and candle are popped up for dimension.
Here's a picture of a winter-hardy Hibiscus in my front garden - it's a lovely 2-toned pink-hot pink Dinner Plate sized variety that provided some colour inspiration for my card above :-)
Hope you're having a crafty weekend as well & thanks for dropping by.
Oh, this is so fun! Super sweet take on the sketch!
ReplyDeleteI love that funky cake, too, Susi! Were yours stamped, then cut? Those black stripes look too perfectly 'funky' to have been a paper-pieced one. Really cute card for this sketch ...

This is such a fun take on the sketch! I love how you turned that tall rectangle shape into a funky cake instead. I've always wondered how those cakes don't fall apart... I think it must be magic and your card is magical! Thanks for sharing it with us!
