Eat Cake

Here’s my card for this week’s The Cat's Pajamas Tuesday color challenge. I combined the challenge colors—red, orange, and pink—with Mercy’s latest sketch challenge for this bright birthday card.

I started with the Forget about the Cake set. I colored the bunny image with Copic markers. I’m pretty happy with how the coloring turned out here. It’s hard to see in the photo, but I added some sparkle to the candles with an orange Spica pen.

After coloring the image, I played around with different pattern and color arrangements before settling on what you see here. I used two papers from Echo Park’s Sweet Summertime collection on the cardfront. For some texture, I used a red panel that was embossed with some dots. A satin ribbon runs around the card, knotted right near the image panel. I used some pink baker’s twine threaded through the knot to attach the sentiment panel.

Materials Used:
Forget about the Cake stamp set, pink Divine Twine (The Cat’s Pajamas); white cardstock (Taylored Expressions); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers, orange Spica pen (Copic); Hibiscus Burst cardstock, Hibiscus Burst satin ribbon (Papertrey Ink); Real Red and Pumpkin Pie cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); Sweet Summertime collection (Echo Park); Polka Dots embossing folder (Sizzix); circle punches (EK Success)
