Mojo Monday Sketch #517

We have been a little under the weather at my house, so my crafting time has been minimal.  I think we are all finally on the mend and I made it back just in time to create a birthday card for a family friend!  My card was created with the June Stamp of the Month, It’s Your Day to Sparkle!  This stamp set is perfect for so many occasions.  I swear I could taste the frosting as I added in a bit of color to my image.  It certainly left me longing for birthday cake!  Here is a look at the complete set-

This card has quite a bit going on…after weeks without crafting, it seems I wanted to add in a little bit of everything!  I just kept adding in different textures until it all worked for me. I colored my cake with Prismacolor pencils and then blended them out with Gamsol.  Once dry, I then masked off the cake tray and sprayed a shimmer mist over the cake image. By now, I was seriously wanting a piece of cake!  The recipient is turning 17, so I stamped out the 17 in sage ink and fussy cut them for the top of the cake. Here is a close up of the shimmer-

My card is based on the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge at Poetic Artistry.  I have always been a huge fan of Mojo Monday!  You should come join in on the fun! Julee’s sketch’s are super awesome…and they even come with measurements!  Here is the original sketch design, I subbed in my cake image for the circle shape.

  6. Your colouring of the cake is perfect – just perfect. And the description has made every commenter above hungry, myself included, so your description was pretty intense… Love the colours, the details to add the geometric component and also the sketch you chose – I am also a fan of Mojo Monday and am so glad it's back again! Thanks for sharing such a terrific card with us at Heart 2 Heart 🙂
