Today I'm sharing a birthday card for a very special friend.
We have a local store called the Create/Exchange where you can bring in your art supplies for store credit to buy other's art supplies. You never know what you might find. I found a couple of intricately cut pieces of paper that I thought would look lovely on top of my Gel Prints, and it turns out my intuition was right. I really love the contrast with this blue and sea green panel.
There was a heart in the center of the panel, but since I wanted a birthday cake, I covered it with a couple of die cut ovals to hold my big birthday cake.
I used chocolate and yellow cardstock to die cut the Savvy Layered Cake. I think it was supposed to be a two layer cake, but I decided to trim down and stack several and turn it into a cake fitting for a big birthday party (then there might be enough to have some cake for breakfast the following day).
I hand-cut the candles on top of the cake and finished with a tiny wood block sentiment from Memory Box.
