Celebrate with Cake!

Hi All!
I'm back with a little cross-over card today which I made with a new Gruffies stamp of a little bear eating more than his fair share of cake!

I went with a brown and pink colour scheme when colouring him in with my Spectrum Noir pens and then had trouble finding paper to match! In the end I dug out some Bo Bunny St Nick paper from way back  which was the brown spotty paper - and teamed it with Anna Griffin pink check.


I used a favourite Martha Stewart doily border die to edge the diagonal areas of the card and also to edge the tag inside. The flowers were made using various flower punches topped with white pearls and the sentiment was from Craftwork Cards.



I added an organza bow to the tag to make it easy to pull out, stamped a sentiment on it from Waltzing Mouse stamps, before embellishing it with a little scattering of punched hearts to fill the 'white space' area.


Hope you like my latest card...I'm addicted to colouring since Christmas so will be back soon with more of my creations.
Thanks for looking!
Best wishes Karen x
