Birthday Ruffle

I hope your weekend is going well friends! I was stuck at work yesterday for almost a full day. And I thought I was literally going to get stuck there as we got over a foot of snow while I was there. Luckily, my little car was able to get out of the unplowed lot and make my way home. So I cooked a big dinner and spent the night snuggled up with my husband watching a movie. Today, I managed to squeeze in some crafty time!

I decided to play along in the challenge over on Friday Sketchers. My card base is PTI kraft. All of my decorative paper is all from My Mind's Eye Be Loved collection. I love how it's bright and fun enough so it doesn't have to be used just for Valentine's day.

I faux-stitched the background panels using my paper piercer and Copic Multiliner. The vellum layer was cut using my Fiskars cloud decorative edge scissors. Then I used the Ecstasy Large Corners and Borders piercing template and vellum piercing tool to pierce the border about an inch up from the bottom.



My image is fromSchlosser Designs Hey Cupcake set. I stamped the cupcake liner in Palette Belle Rose ink, the cupcake itself in Palette Burnt Umber ink. The sentiment was curled along my acrylic block and stamped in Palette Noir ink. I used my oval nestabilities to cut out my image and popped the entire thing up on dimensionals for more interest.

To finish my card off I used my Copic Spica gold glitter pen to color in the candle for a little extra sparkle.

Don't forget that the Card Patterns blog hop is in full swing already! Be sure to head on over to the blog to see which designers are hosting each day. There are lots of great prizes to be had, and as always this week there is a chance to be our guest designer for playing along with the sketch.
