I had a lot of fun with this birthday cake. Once again, I dug into my hand made background stash. The large background is on watercolor paper. It's just a very simple gradient from yellow to orange. The candles were cut from another background that had splashes of reds and yellows. I managed to position the candles so the flames were more or less over the yellows. I cut the balloons from Buttercream cardstock*. I stamped, "happy birthday," on one then shaded them with Limeade Splash* and Chambray Shirt ink*. I added some Natural Journey Thread* for strings and popped the blue balloon up on Journey foam squares*.
Supply List:
6.5" x 5" Card blank
4.5" x 6" Watercolor background
3" x 4" patterned paper rectangle
3 1/4" x 4 1/4" Limeade Splash Cardstock*
Hammered Silver Paper
For my next card, I used the Anchored stamp set from Maymay Made it. This one went together very quickly. Mat the 3" x 4" patterned paper rectangle on a piece of 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Chambray Shirt* cardstock. Use Journey glue to add some sand to the bottom. Stamp the sentiment on a 2 x 1 3/4" piece of Buttercream cardstock* and ink it with Chambray Shirt ink* then mat it on a 2 1/8 x 1 7/8 piece of Chambray Shirt Cardstock*. Next, stamp the anchor on Chambray Shirt Cardstock* and fussy cut around it. Layer it all on the front of the card, popping up the anchor on Journey Foam Squares*.

For the next two cards, I matted the 2 1/4" patterned paper squares on 2 1/2" Chambray Shirt Cardstock* squares. I really like this verse from Maymay's Anchored set and wanted an undersea background so I drew one with PanPastels. One thing I love about PanPastels is that they are very forgiving. If you make a mistake, you can just erase it.

The background for this next card was made with liquid colors on photo paper. It's a fun, easy and quick technique for making backgrounds. You can find a tutorial for making them on my YouTube channel. The Sentiment is from the Your Faith is Showing stamp set and the butterfly is from the Small Things stamp set. I colored it with Journey Splash Watercolor Pencils.

Here's another card featuring a Maymay Made It stamp set. This one is Then Sings My Soul. I adhered a 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper on the bottom of this card and added a washi tape border along the top of it. I stamped the wavy music strip directly onto the card base with Black Licorice Ink*. I cut the circles from Chambray Shirt* and Whipcream cardstock*. I stamped the sentiment on the Whipcream circle and stamped a few musical notes on the patterned paper. I popped up the circles on foam squares and added them to the left side of the card front.
Supply List:
Well, hello! The triangles in the upper and lower corners make a perfectly sized negative space for the large hello greeting. The hello is three layers thick so it stands out nicely. I used PanPastels to shade the background
