Happy Birthday to You for FreshlyMadeSketches #426

Hi Everyone.

Happy Saturday – again!

I managed to play along with the FreshlyMadeSketches challenge this week.  Generally I only get to play on Sunday and it's a squeeze to meet the Monday deadline, especially if I finish too late to photograph my card.  However, this week, I managed to make it with a day to spare!

Here's the fabulous sketch from the team this week:

I decided to make a congrats card – one that would work either for a birthday or a wedding – or any celebration that requires a cake 🙂  I stamped up the SU SaleABration set – Happy Birthday to you.  I colored it with my Prismacolors and fussy cut it.  When I went to add it to the card base, I decided the base needed some texture.  So I added a layer of woodgrain from Altenew as well as some crinkle card stock… I think that was also Altenew.  I had to add a little shimmer and shine, so took some silver mirror card stock and added that just above and below the horizontal layer.  I stamped the sentiment and adhered it to the card base.

Here's my card:

I really do like this cake image.  In fact, I liked it so much that I used it for two different challenges this week!

I hope you pop along to FreshlyMade – you can see fabulous design team inspiration cards and wonderful submission cards – lots of inspiration for you!

I'll be back tomorrow with my Paper Players card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs
