Birthday Card

card created by The Creative Card

Popping in with a card I just finished up today. I love this "Happy Day" set from Concord & 9th, and find myself coming back to it often.  You can use the cake image for lots of different occasions, and even though it tends to be a bit more classic in its design, you can just as easily make it bold and modern with the right colours.

As you can see here, I went with the classy colours as it is for an 80th birthday and this lady is class all the way!

I started by stamping with Versamark, on Gina K. Designs Artist's Choice 110lb White Card Stock and heat embossed with gold powder from Stampendous. Then onto the colouring with my copics. I actually used very few different colours, as I don't have a large collection, I just kept colouring over the shaded areas to darken up the colour to show highlight and shading. 
The copics I used are:  Leaves -Y11, YG03, YG63, Flowers -YR000, R83, R85, Cake - YR000, E31,E33, and the platter is E31 and E37

Once I was happy with the coloured cake, I cut out with he coordinating die.

I had this scrap of paper, by Lost & Found, on my desk from another card and I just loved it with the cake. So a touch of foam behind the cake to mount it and done!  Ok, well not yet, but close!  I stamped and cut the happy birthday banner from the same set and attached it to the card front. Drew two little lines to look like sticks holding up the banner. The set actually has a stick stamp in it, but figured I would mess it up as the pieces were already attached to the card. Drawing was a safer bet!

To finish up, I added Versamark and the same gold embossing powder to chipboard numbers and adhered them to the cake. Of course we needed a touch of bling.....so a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh completes the card.

Hope you like my card inspiration for today!!
