A colourful card for a sunny day


It is so hot, hot, hot at the moment that my card making has been reduced to early mornings only! I had fun with this one though, the colours are so bright and bold it makes me smile.

I used Coastal Cabana for the card base and a piece of 6x6 dsp in Georgous Grape from the Brights collection. I trimmed the paper down slightly so that it would leave a border of Coastal Cabana showing. Ovals were then cut from Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather.

The cake and sentiment are both from the new stamp set Blow Out The Candles, this is such a versatile set featuring bold images of the cake, balloons and candles. The cake outline was stamped (on Whisper White card) in Gorgeous Grape and the frosting stamped in Highland Heather. The cake stand outline was stamped in Coastal Cabana, the infill colour is also Coastal Cabana but stamped off once to lighten it a shade.

Once cut out using the matching dies the cake and stand were stuck to the oval and Gorgeous Grape ribbon was adhered. The whole piece was then stuck to the Coastal Cabana card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Gorgeous Grape and cut using the classic label punch. As the sentiment was a little longer than the punch allows I cut the strip a fraction narrower than the label would be and fed it in from the top to cut the points.

This card could be made in so many different colours from the bright collection but I do love the new purples.

Thanks for looking,
