Eat Cake & Celebrate

Hello friends.  Playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and the DD Ten Year Birthday Challenge with this fun card...

I haven't played with these cute chefs in ages (MFT's Recipe For Happiness) and figured they were due some ink!  My birthday stash got seriously depleted this past Fall, and I was so busy making Christmas cards that I just never got caught up.  I stamped the 3 chefs with Versafine Black Onyx ink and then Copic colored and cut out with the coordinating dies.  My background was done following the sketch that Amy at Freshly Made Sketches showed using Gina K's Brick Wall stencil in a light gray ink and the bottom portion using PTI's Pure Poppy Bitty Big DSP.

I used a thin strip of black cs to mark the different layers and for the chefs to stand on, and then added my sentiment from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Birthday.  I so badly wanted to add some glitter or sequins to this birthday card, but since I think it would work for a masculine birthday card too, I left the sparkle & shine off!

The DD is celebrating their 10th Birthday and I thought this card would work perfectly for their challenge too!  CONGRATS on 10 Years DD!!

You can check out the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge HERE and the DD 10 Year Birthday Challenge right HERE.  Lots of fabulous inspiration from both challenges, so check them out and play along.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
