Inspiration: Freshly Made Sketch #426 + SUO #244 (Coloring) + ColourQ #139
I will admit I was not planning on getting this stamp set. Because a lot of the SAB items are already depleted, I ended up picking it as a freebie. I was looking at past ColourQ combos and #139 caught my eye. I then got this idea of stamping the cake on Crumb Cake cardstock and coloring with Prismacolor pencils. It became the starting point of this card. I love the look of pencil coloring on kraft cardstock, it really makes the colours stand out, and it was especially great here because the icing was going to be white. I also used my white pencil to add little dots all over the background, which added a dainty touch. I've pulled out yet again the Stitched So Sweetly dies (told you I love those scalloped rectangles!).
The blue background was embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder (a personal favorite) and I used the Stitched Lace die on the Rich Razzleberry cardstock. I was planning to poke the details out, but I forgot to use a precision plate and I decided I liked the stitched details it gave to the cardstock, so I left it as is. Unfortunately, I few of the side pieces did fall out, but I decided I can live with it. I added a piece of Seaside Spray metallic ribbon (continued from the Holidays catalogue).
The sentiments from the SAB stamp set were a bit long for the space I had, so I pulled out the Peaceful Moments stamp set and stamped out Thank You, This card will be going to a customer who has gotten this stamp set for herself and mentioned she absolutely loved it. I hope it can inspire her for future creations.
