The Layers of Colors website is one of my favorites! The challenges are fun and the stamping products are fabulous! So why is this only the second time I've participated? Don't ask me. Real life so often gets in the way of my virtual fun! But this week, late as I am, I have something that fits the theme for the week, which is "cake".
I just happened to pick up these stamps last week at my 3rd Thursday ATC swap. The cupcakes are a departure from my usual style, but I couldn't resist them! They are a Perfectly Clear set from Stampendous, and there are 6 different cake bottoms and frosting tops to mix and match, along with 3 candles and a sparkler, some sprinkles, hearts, a cherry, and some words, like "for you", and "sweet".
I stamped the bottoms in "willow" Adirondack Lights, and Nick Bantock's "chrome yellow" inks. The chocolate tops are stamped with Nick Bantock's "Van Dyke brown". The cherry was colored with Marvy markers, then stamped. Little jewels are pink dot sparklers from Stampendous. These tiny things really shine! They are holographic and catch at least 20 times their teensy size in light! I wrote the "happy.happy.birthday" with a metallic brown Sakura gel pen, then layered everything on cardstock and a strip of dot paper.
Have a yummy day, Everyone!
what a great card! and such wonderful colours!
