When I saw Allison’s Suggestive Sunday Challenge #2 to use Basic Grey in a design, I knew I was in. And when she suggested that we dig out older Basic Grey collections, I knew it was time for some Color Me Silly … one of my favorite papers for children’s birthday cards. Then, when I saw Julee’s Mojo Monday Sketch #22, a card was born (in my brain at least).
All I needed to finish the creation were these adorable Pick a Celebration stamps from Penguin Pants Rubber Stamps. Have you checked them out yet? They have some seriously adorable acrylic stamps.
To make my birthday cupcake I stamped it first on the blue DP and then again on orange and purple solid DP from the collection for the paper piecing. I stamped the balloon on orange and cut a small slit in the cupcake frosting with my Xacto knife, so I could slip the balloon string right through.
This will be a perfect birthday card for one of my nieces or nephews … thank you ladies for the inspiration.
Beautifully executed as always:)
I`ve left you something on my blog…go check it out…thanks:)x
This is awesome…I have never seen this paper from the collection! I think I have used up all my Color Me Silly as of late…my LSS down the street (literally down the street which is causing my husband much consternation) still has lots though (they are crazy for all Basic Grey!). Thanks for playing!
I love the colours you’ve used really beautiful…
