Celebrate!

It's Thursday and we have a really fun sketch for this week's challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.



I've been on a photopolymer stamp kick lately, so I used Endless Birthday Wishes for my card today.

I love the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack so I used that as my inspiration.  I went with the designs featuring Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss so I could use Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.

This card has a lot going on, but it was simple to put together.

1.  Stamped Blackberry Bliss card base with the polka dot stamp from Endless Birthday Wishes and Blackberry Bliss ink.
2.  Cut two of the coordinating designs from Moonlight DSP Pack and added them to the card.  The polka dot design had all four corners rounded.
3.  On Whisper White, stamped the birthday cake using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it in with Blendabilities.
4.  Cut Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss starbursts to frame the cake.
5.  Lastly, cut a strip of Sahara Sand to create a banner for the sentiment.  I used the Hexagon Punch to create the banner end before adding it to the card.

I love how this week's card turned out and now it's your turn!  Grab your stamps and create with us this week!!  More details about the challenge as well as more fabulous cards from the Challenge Team are at Create with Connie and Mary.

Yummy cake! You did a wonderful job with the Blendabilities. It coordinates so well with the Blackberry Bliss card stock.

This is fabulous! Love the off set starbursts! I think that the blendabilities coordinates very well, too!

SOOO fun! I had thought about using that set, too! I love that DSP and the Starburst worked perfectly! Great job with the sketch challenge this week!

I love the colours and stamp set of your card and liked the offset starbursts so much I used the same idea on my challenge entry this week!

Please accept my apologies for being a week late!

I love that little cake! I have been holding of purchasing because of the fact that the sets sell out and then we can't demonstrate with them...but you are breaking me down with this card! Love the color combo...looks good enough to eat!
