Birthday cakes!

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley has chosen cakes as our theme.


Our party guest Jenny and my team mates have some delicious looking ideas to inspire you so I hope you can play along.

Of course there is always the anything goes birthday option too! A great opportunity to build up your stash of birthday cards.

I purchased a few retired Penny Black stamps recently, so thought I'd ink this one up as it features a fabulous looking cake! Well what you can see of it lol.

I stamped the image in versafine clair nocturne and clear embossed it. Then coloured the image using distress markers (some of them have dried up!! need to google fixing that!) and prismacolour pencils. 
(The shading on and around the chooks looks a lot lighter in the photo).

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Allsorts, anything goes with the option of nature


Little Red Wagon, animals from Old Macdonald's Farm


Penny Black Saturday Challenge, anything goes and I've used the option of wet embossing.

Supplies:
Penny Black best of luck stamp; Inspired by Stamping birthday greetings sentiment;
versafine clair nocturne ink & clear ep; distress markers; prismacolour pencils; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
