Wow! Its already Saturday! I just got this set from My Favorite Things called “You Take The Cake”. Its so cute! You can never have enough birthday image. Kim at MFT stamps is hosting a contest! Check it out! You could win 3 FREE sets from her store. Way cool-
Now, its time for a sketch from my book! I am in love with this combo of colors, and challenge you to give them a try!
Blush Blossom, cool caribbean, cameo coral, certain celery.
Now for the sketch- Here is the original.
Now you can see a descent difference in that one and this one. YOU may not even see where the inspiration came from! LOL! But again, its all about inspiration, not always the exact CASE.
I moved the bow from the bottom to the top so it would look like a present. I then put the tag on the opposite side of where the flower was. Instead of a stitched layer at the top, I moved the interest to the bottom, by using my cuttlebug birthday corners. In the original the corners were pierced. I also used my cuttlebug for the tag. Since the stamps are clear it was easy peasy to make the sentiment stack, instead of being a line that says “Make a Wish”
I LOVE the acrylic frame. I got it at Michaels the other day, along with the ribbon. I though it was a perfect accent. In the original card I used a metal edge frame instead.
I hope you have fun trying it out- don’t forget to link it here so we can all see what you do with it!
