The most exciting part of the card, which is basically a boxy easel card, is that is has a little cake inside and a box to hold the candles.....
There are very good instructions on how to make this card over at Stempeleinmaleins (stamp something) a German blog, but most of their stuff is in English too. This is what it looks like when you take the candles out of their little box and put them in the "cake".
I've used a really cute tilda and some matching magnolia balloons which I stamped on acetate with stazon and then stamped again and cut out the balloon part on paper and coloured and glittered and stuck them behind the acetate so that you don't have to cut around the fiddly strings.
It fits the following challenges:
http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-msl-challenge-ribbon.html - use ribbon
http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.com/2011/03/challenge-92-more-than-1-fold.html - more than one fold - this one has lots of folding!
http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/2011/04/week-100-simon-says-stamp-special.html - anything goes
http://copiccreations.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/challenge-no-47-your-favorite-copic-technique/ favourite copic technique - this took some thought initially but then I realised that the thing I like to do most with my copics is the shading which makes the characters look like they have really shiny hair!
I did enjoy making this card, but it took me two FULL evenings, so I don't think I'll be making them to order any time soon.....
Thanks for stopping by

Cor blimey Tara, this is fantastic. Love everything, the colours, the Tilda image but that cake inside really is the bees knees. A definite keepsake.

Oh how adorable!!! What a cute project! Of course, I wouldn't light the candles, hehe ;) Very cool, would you do a tutorial on how to make this project please? :)
ReplyDeleteOh what a gorgeous 'cake' card!! Such fabulous colours, papers and stunning details, fabulous work with the acetate and baloons. Your colouring of the lovely Tilda is fantastic - difficult to choose a favourite technique isn't it. I have this type of card on my long, long to do list - maybe one day!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could join us at Copic Creations,
