It seems I am woefully behind in mailing out cards! I love creating, but seem to struggle with actually putting the cards in the mail! So, we have yet again another belated birthday card! I went with the sketch design over at Freshly Made Sketches for my card design-
I flipped the sketch upside down to accommodate my cake image. I love this cake image, it is from a Close To My Heart set from 2019, It’s Your Day to Sparkle. Coloring the icing always makes me want a slice of cake! I chose my cake colors from the color challenge at The Paper Players–
The cake image was colored with Copic markers and then a bit of shimmer was added with a clear shimmer brush. No card is complete in my craft room without a little bit of bling.
The cake was applied with 3D foam tape to a birthday expressions embossed background panel. A bitty sentiment from Simon Says Stamp was embossed in white to complete the card.

Wow, Allisa! What a wonderful birthday card! I love this cake image and the way in which you colored it. The flowers are stunning. The embossed background adds such yummy texture. This card will make someone’s day very special. I am so glad you played with The Paper Players this week!
Fabulous card! That cake looks divine and I totally understand about the challenge of actually getting cards in the mail! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
That cake is terrific and I love it in purple and yellow! The debossed background adds the best interest but still lets the cake shine. I’m in the same boat as you, Allisa, as far as getting cards in the mail. I did add reminders in my calendar this year for sending birthday cards; we’ll see how that goes! Thanks so much for joining in for my color challenge at the Paper Players this week!
What a pretty image and you’ve colored it perfectly! I struggle with sending out those cards too! Hopefully, this one will make it in the mail to someone to brighten their day! Thanks for playing with our Paper Players colors this week!
