My inspiration for the card was three challenges: Fab Friday's Challenge #104, which asked me to use the colours Sweet Sugarplum, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla; CAS(E) this Sketch's Challenge #205, using this sketch:
and Less is More's Theme Challenge #312, 'New Beginnings'.
I loved the colours, finding them relaxing to work with, The sketch was... well, challenging, but I resolved that tricky sentiment issue by using a double layered die cut from a set I love, First Edition Craft's Heart Dies. I also revisited the lace stamp from Grateful Bunch, finding it much easier this second time to work with (so all those attempts last time weren't wasted!).
Made Using:
Stampin' Up: Sweet Sugarplum, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla paper, Soft Sky and Sweet Sugarplum Ink, Grateful Bunch and Shake and Celebrate Stamp sets.
Other products: First Edition Craft's Heart Dies, Francheville Rhinestones, Kaisercraft Stitched Borders and Rosie's 'Thanks a Bunch' flowers on the inside.
The stamped lace adds a soft texture to your lovely card. The sentiment die cut is perfect! Thanks so much for playing with us at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is gorgeous! I love your details - just the right amount not to overwhelm. I also go all crazy with frosting, lol, but this is PERFECT! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so lovely! Soft, romantic and dreamy - so just right for a wedding. It's interesting to see how you've made the wonderful wedding cake because it looks so different from the birthday card you made using the same set! It's like a different stamp set. You've combined all the elements stylishly.
ReplyDeleteThanks - I've been surprised by how versatile the shake and celebrate set is proving to be.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fab design! I love the colour palette, and any card with cake is a great idea in my opinion :) The lace stamping is such a gorgeous detail and looks absolutely perfect. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
ReplyDeleteHaha - the only thing better than a card with cake is, of course, the cake itself!
