Blogger Challenge: Week 264

This week’s blogger challenge is a color challenge to use black, white, and a splash of another color of your choice. I went with a bold black, white, and pink color combination for this birthday card.

I stamped the cake outline and cake stand images from the Cake Decorating set from Clear and Simple Stamps on a matching die cut piece, then filled in the cake with a pink chevron patterned solid image from the coordinating Cake Decorating Too stamp set. To set the cake off from the card’s white background, I adhered a black circle to the cardfront and topped it with a pink strip stamped with a smaller scale chevron pattern, then added a black strip cut with one of the new Favor Flags dies. The cake is set over the trio of panels. I wanted to add a little sparkle, so I placed a single clear crystal at each end of the Favor Flag strip. The “happy birthday” sentiment from the Cake Decorating Extras set is stamped underneath the cake in black ink.
