I hope you are well on this lovely Saturday Morning.
I'm not usually a huge fan of pink, but I have a friend's birthday coming up and she is Pink crazy, so today I thought I would show you the card I made for her, which I think is so cute. It uses this Icing on the Cake stamp set which I seemed to overlook in last years catalogue, but I got it about a month ago and I love it. You can make backgrounds really quickly and the flowers are so pretty.
Make a card base from a piece of Berry Burst that measures 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8" and add a whisper white panel to the inside, this measures 5 5/8" x 3 7/8".
Using another piece of whisper white the same size, start filling the piece with the strips of Icing. I used Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Blushing Bride, but this could really be made any colour you like. Add the Happy and Birthday between the strips where you would like, I chose to try focus them in the middle.
The flowers are also very simple to create, it's two step stamping which helps create the depth and detail. Take the solid image and stamp in powder pink, the line up the detailed stamp and stamp with a darker ink, Berry Burst. I did the same to create the leaves as well using Lemon Lime Twist and Call Me Clover. Fussy cut them out and add dimensionals to the back, the leaves are quite small so I used mini dimensionals on the back of those.
Add the panel to the front of the card, then place the flowers and leaves to create some depth and It's all done!!
