For the Birthday Party!

Two of my friends had birthday's earlier this week and I needed a card for each of them. I had some down time at work the week before, so I was able to color up 2 Swirly Birthday cake images from DRS Designs ahead of time to make their cards. I decided on using a pretty simple layout since I was making the same card twice.

Of course I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The dark "chocolate" lines you see on the cake were done with marker. I used sponge daubers to fill in some blue shading around the candles while it was still in my Nestie die.



I added Stickles to the candle flames, the big yellow flower and the flower garnishes which helped to dress up the simple layout. I love the fun colors on this card! The light blue & purple go so well together & the chocolate brown just makes everything pop!
