80th Birthday Card

So I needed to make a card for a soon to be an 80 year old!  I didn't want to to the typical flower card for this momentous birthday.  I decided to go a different route:

For this card I used:

  • Hero Arts - Script Bold Print Background Stamp
  • Hero Arts - Number Candles and dies
  • Hero Arts - Color Layering Cupcake and dies
  • Clearly Besotted- Tiny Type Stamp set
  • Gina K - Master Layouts 1 and 3
  • Gina K Inks - In the Navy, Sea Glass, Blue Lagoon, Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Brown, Onyx, Sandy Beach, Soft Stone, Whisper, Wild Dandelion
  • Altenew Inks - Butter Cream, Frosted Pink, Cotton Candy
  • Wink of Stella - Clear
  • Glossy Accents
  • Action Wobble
To make the card, I stamped the cupcakes using a variety of inks using a light and darker color for each area.  Wink of Stella was added to the frosting for a bit of sparkle. These were then cut with the associated dies.  The numbers were stamped with a light and darker color blue, the flames in yellow, and then all cut with the associated dies.  Glossy Accents was added to the flames and the melted portion of the number candles. The sentiment was stamped, and cut with one of the flag dies from the Master Layouts 3 set.  The dark blue in the background was stamped with the Script Bold Print background and then cut with a dies from the Master Layouts set 1.  Everything was then added to the card base, using an Action Wobble for the center cupcake to complete the card.
