A very *PINK* Cake Card!


Var på Damenes Aften på Bohus Sortland igår kveld, champagne og kanapéer, twist og Kathrine Sørland som foredragsholder!!! Mote & Retro.. Og kjempefin rabatt også. Har vært iallefall 4 ganger før på Damenes Aften, men det har aldri vært så mye moro som nå ~ det tok helt av! Hun derre Sørlandsdama er litt sprø *hehe* Iallefall ~ hadde kort å lage når jeg kom hjem... og om det ble litt mye rosa-farger denne gangen.. skylder jeg på champagnen ;)

Ukens utfordring hos Creative Fingers #54. er sponset av MilkCoffee, og som alltid er det 'Lag-hva-du-vil' med et valgfritt tema som denne gangen er å bruke 'lag-på-lag' :)

Yes I know... I went a little overboard with the pink colors.. at least her hair is not pink! *lol* This weeks challenge #54. at Creative Fingers is sponsored by MilkCoffee, and the Theme is as always Anything Goes, with an optional twist this week of using 'Layers' on your project. You are most welcome to join in! :)

Totally last minute ~ I added the text beneath the cake, says Congratulations.. AFTER I had assembled the card, so it was a bit tricky to get the stamp onto already raised (3Dfoam) surface.. The tip is to put same height foam under so it's steady .. and very carefully stamp! *gasp!* And to hold my breath as well, would've ruined the image if it smudged ;)

I created the background paper on a cream colored card, using Distress inks 'Fired brick', 'Spiced Marmelade' and 'Mustard Seed'. Starting with the yellow on the entire card, orange on the raised embossed heart as well as the edges around the heart. Finally dark red all around the edges. Misted it up with a spray of water and dabbed quickly off with a papertowel, to get a spattered effect. The little monster cuties were painted with a Koi waterbrush & the same colors plus green 'Peeled Paint' :) The text banner is done using the remains of ink on my craftsheet, mist of water and dabbing, plus 'Vintage photo' and 'Shabby Shutters'.
