Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda has chosen the "Topping" option to Use Your Initials.
You can use one initial, your first and last initial, or all three, as a few of our
Design Team Members have done. Lots of options, so I hope you have some fun with it!
I went with the topping option of using your initials and mine are JB. The B was easy of course, blue, birthday. I thought of the word joy for J and searched through several stamp sets to find the one I wanted and used 4 different stamp sets to create my sentiment. I cut it in strips to place around the focal image which is a tier of cupcakes from MFT Sweet BD Wishes. After stamping the image I colored it with SU Blends, Smokey Slate, Crumb Cake and Tahitian Tide. I used a lt. blue panel cut with SU Scalloped Contours die and embossed with the Subtle EF. I die cut the white panel with MFT Inside & Out Stitched Arches. I mounted the white panel and sentiment with foam tape. I shaded the bottom of the white panel for the cup cakes to sit on and they are mounted with foam tape also.
Be sure to check out all the lovely cards by our team and guest designers over at Seize the Birthday. Hope to see you in our gallery.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I love that wonderful tower of cupcakes, JoAnn. The dome shaped die cut is the perfect shape and I love the scalloped edges on the blue panel. Great use of your initials.
