When I started this card, I was headed in a whole different direction. I love when that happens if I am happy with the results. This is going to be a birthday card for my niece who is turning 14 this year. She is past that little girl stage that is easy to make cards for but not totally into the flowers and all that yet. I thought Topsy Turvy would be perfect. I used the color challenge over at
Create with Connie and Mary. When I saw the colors, I was thinking of using the Swallowtail (my new favorite stamp) but then I realized that I had loaned it to someone so I headed in a different direction using Topsy Turvy.
First, I stamped the cake using the Stamp-a-ma-Jig. This is my favorite tool when I want something perfect. Since I am not a perfectionist, I don't use it often but if something needs to be lined up, it is my go-to tool. I then used the paper piercer and the Labels Collection Framelits. The Designer Series Paper, Sunshine & Sprinkles has all three colors in it so I pulled some of that out but stayed away from the parts that were a little heavy on the blue. I added a gray button from the Neutrals Buttons and voila!
Yum, your whimsical cake is dreamy! I love all your extra details as they all come together for a clean and perfect card. Thanks for playing along with our color challenge at CCMC this week. Smiles, Elizabeth
