Good Luck Best Wishes

 For my last card of this month I chose to bling it up. This card was so much fun to make. The horseshoe is a Digi file designed by Anne Ingram and can be found in Lady Beans Etsy Shop.  I used Nuvo glue pen and Nuvo Pure Sheen Glitter in steel gray. The flower is a cut out from a previous Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin pack. Sentiment is The Ton Easy Expressions. Card stock is Soft Suede and Wood Texture Designer series paper from Stampin Up.  The Peel off Sticker strips are from Love From Lizzy in Pink Glitter and Silver. Hope you like bling!  

Wedding Cake

Hello Coffee Bean Design's fans it's Brandi M, I am back to share a card with you featuring the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp by Coffee Bean Designs.

I printed the “Wedding Cake” digital stamp on to white cardstock, one of the things I love about Digital stamps is you can resize them to fit your project. For this card I printed it a bit smaller to use  on my card. On my second card , which you can find on my blog I printed it larger.

For those of you who don't know I love to color with my Copic makers so that's what I pulled out to add more depth and detail to the cake image. I shaded the cake with my light gray combo and then I draw simple flower on my card, I started by drawing a dot for the center. Copic makers are alcohol based and work great for blending. Next I draw five flicks for the petals of the flowers in my darkest shade then add my medium and light on top still using a flicking motion. I went darkest to lightest then back again until I was happy and then a green vine and white gel pen details to the flower centers.

For the cake topper I dug through my stamp stash until I found the small hearts I colored them pink and fussy cut them out. Remember to make it look like they were trimmed out perfectly run a water base black maker a long the edge to hide the white core of the cardstock.

I often pull from my scrap bin when making cards which is exactly what I did for the pink cardstock background. I cut it down to be slightly smaller than an A2 card base. I also used a scrap of white cardstock to stamp the sentiment on with black ink.

To pull the card together I layered the pink cardstock onto a white A2 card base. Using foam tape I popped up the sentiment strip and then glued down the wedding card using the sentiment to ground the image. I topped the cake with the pink hearts. To add more detail to the card I added wink of stella over the cake and scattered flat back pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this card! If you want to see more you can head over to my blog and see how I turn this image into a Birthday cake.

Thanks

Brandi M.
