Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combo Challenge: Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and So Saffron! WOW! What a combo!
Since my sister's 2 little boys were born on HER birthday...I needed another card this week! LOL (Geesh!!! You'd think they could plan that better, right? LOL!)
So, this card is for my precious NEWEST nephew, who will be 1 on Saturday! What a wonderful little tyke! He's so darn cute, just like his big brother! (Hey, they don't live with me, so I can spoil them and send them HOME! LOL!)
I wanted to use a cake for this card, and really had to find the perfect one! I found this one, and stamped the BACK of the desinger paper with the image and cut the layers out! Then, I stamped the ENTIRE image onto Whisper White and layered the pieces on top with dimensionals! Since it was his FIRST birthday, I cut up scraps of paper to make the lonely little candle on top! (I outlined all the pieces of the cake with a SU! journaler.
The candle was stamped on designer paper and cut out. I added circles to the print to add a bit of interest.
The So Saffron background was run through the Cuttlebug with a Swiss Dots embossing folder.
The circles were made with a Coluzzle and Marvy PUnches!

Wow Faith..............this card just pops off the page. I love it. I think this will have to go to favs so I can try a CASE on it later. You've really taken this color combo to a new level.
