Birthday Wishes Cake

By
Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum!


For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks.


Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed with same yellow as the candle flames.
I've used - 5x7" white card base

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

By

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment. I've used -  5x7 card base Scattered Straw DI on Claritystamp Theuva card Papermania Musical Instruments stamp set Papermania Mr Mister Crossword stamp Hobbycraft sentiment stamp Magazine musical notes stamp Thank you for visiting - I'd love you to leave a comment if you have time -  Steph x

Book Folding Hedgehog

Something a bit different for me to share today a hedgehog letter rack created from a paperback book ... never tried book folding before until now and this was one of the easiest folds to achieve.  Made as an entry in our local Flower Show craft section ... I did achieve 1st prize but then there were only two entries in the "something old from something new" category which most avoided as no one was quite sure what it meant ... me included! Simply decorated with a stamped flower/leaves from a scrap of brusho painted card and some button eyes and nose.  It was a fun project to make and looks quite cute don't you agree.
