I'm entering it into Dynamic Duos two color challenge HERE, featuring mono-chromatic pinks,
(I used the Close to My Heart colors Blush and Hollyhock)
and Keep It Simple's Challenge #10, which features shaped cards, HERE.
The card was cut at 5" using the Cricut Artiste cartridge (I'll have to post it in a 5x7 envelope!). I cut a second layer of vellum (suggestion from the talented Morag of Muggie's Hollow), scored to look like a cupcake wrapper. The appropriate greeting is from Paper Smooches' Birthday Sampler set. The pennant is free-hand cut using decorative scissors, embellished with curly grid ribbon from Paper Wishes. The card is hinged at the wrapper, opening up for a further birthday greeting.
Off to link up before the deadline!
Happy Thursday,
Caroline
Great shaped card! Love the little flag and that kind of mesh trim!
ReplyDeleteOh...I love the idea of cutting the wrapper from vellum and scoring it. It looks just like a cupcake liner with that bit of waxy sheen!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, Caroline - very sweet!
