Hey there, crafty friends! My week is off to a great start, as I got to spend a lot of time playing with stamps and paper today. How about you?
I've been contemplating the colors for this week's Just Us Girls challenge, and when I pulled them out I just kept thinking of a rainbow and the way the color blocks in the photo remind me of those rainbow cakes I keep seeing on Pinterest. Have you seen them?
For the cake, I stamped all of the layers from Lawn Fawn's Bake Me a Cake onto white cardstock and cut them out, then colored the cake and stand with Copic markers. The candles were stamped directly onto the Saffron cardstock before it was debossed.
The sentiment, from Verve's Dream Big set, seemed perfectly appropriate for a birthday cake of this magnitude.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (So Saffron, Riding Hood Red), Papertrey Ink (Simply Chartreuse, Aqua Mist, white)
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Bake Me a Cake), Verve (Dream Big)
Ink: Inkadinkadoo (Black), Copic markers
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Diamonds, Argyle, Polka Dots, and Book Print impression plates)
Thanks so much for coming by tonight!
