It's no secret that I love making cards so when a friend asked me if I would make a card for her granddaughter's eighth birthday, I happily obliged. Oh wait a minute...I have a friend who is a grandmother? Oh my gosh, after the previous post with a picture of me at four and now the realization that I have a friend who is old enough to be a grandmother (she's only a few years older than me), I feel really old. Yikes! But I digress...
I chose Pink Passion as the main color and Gable Green as the accent color. I embossed the background with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder. The focal image is the cupcake from the Birthday Best set. It was stamped on white and then layered on a slightly larger piece of pink and a scalloped green piece that was created using the Marvy Uchida Giga Scallop punch. Dazzling Diamonds was applied to the icing and the candle flame. I added the polka-dot ribbon and a small tag secured with silver cord to complete the design.
The "experts" are predicting another winter storm Saturday and Sunday but it's supposed to be snow this time. I sure hope the power stays on!
