CARD DETAILS
I started working on my project by stamping the birthday cake, candles, and flowers from the Do What It Cakes stamp set and coloring with Copic markers. I debated doing some fancy coloring for the cake but ended up coloring it solid yellow and adding a white pen highlight.
I used a Magical To Me stamp set and coordinating dies to create a sentiment. The “magical” was also embossed in clear embossing powder to add a glossy finish. The background of this card was stamped with a Throwing Shapes stamp – I used Versamark ink for a tone-on-tone look.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stamp cake, candles, and flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black inkΒ ontoΒ Simonβs 120lb cardstock.
- Color using Copic markers:
- Add white pen detail to images, cut out with coordinating dies.
- Stamp background on Spellbinders Alabaster cardstock with Throwing Shapes stamp in embossing ink for a tone-on-tone look. Adhere to the A2 white top folding card base.
- Foam mount cake, flowers, and candles on top.
- Stamp sentiment using Magical to Me stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Cut out using a coordinating die (cut 4 additional blank layers, adhere together to add dimension to the “magical” die-cut). Heat emboss in clear embossing powder. Foam mount onto the card.
- Embellish with white pearls andΒ gems.
