Birthday Cake!

February 11th, 2013

Hello, friends! The card I have to share with you today features paper piecing, a great technique for using up scrap paper, and also if you don’t feel like breaking out all your markers to color something ;)   Since my stamps are from Hero Arts, I’m entering this card in the current challenge at A Blog Named Hero – #19, Snip & Stick.

I wanted a cheerfully colored birthday cake so I turned to my current favorite paper, Sketchbook by Amy Tangerine (American Crafts).  I paper pieced the cake and also the frame behind it.  Lots of fussy cutting but I don’t mind it, I find it soothing!

About this card:  Stamped images are from Hero Arts Art of the Card Birthday Collage and are stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink on various pieces from the Amy Tangerine Sketchbook paper collection.  I accented with Diamond Stickles.
