I must say, Granny Apple Green is not a color I am fond of. I know many, many people who love it, but at one time I would have told you I didn't really like green at all. But I have come a long way. I just love the other green on here, Soft Seafoam, and a couple others, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow to name a couple.
So, before we go any further, here is the link to the challenge and the challenge picture for this week.
Besides the challenge colors, I used this challenge to CASE the catty. Page 64 in the new annual catty, you will see this using the Piece of Cake stamp set. I have made a few small changes, but the idea is there. I decided to use the Tin Tile embossing folder, and it think it worked very well for me. Flirty Flamingo is such a pretty color, I went for that option for my background. An instead of the Rectangle stitched dies, I used one of the new Stitched Nested dies, I think it added a little more fun to the card.
BTW, this card is going out to my daughter for her birthday this month.
I stamped and punched the cakes out using the punch, but then did have a bit of fussy cutting to put them together. I colored using my Water color pencils, they seem to work very well on smaller spaces. I used my stamp positioner for the cake topper and it worked great, the topper of flowers sits right on top with no gap.
I also used a retired Galvanized metal paper for the plate. I just got out whatever greenery I have close by to pop under the die cut piece. The tiny flowers is a tiny punch, retired, but I have a while bunch of these tiny punches. You just never know when you will need a tiny flower, or heart or candle ect. I finished off with the little punched flowers, putting silver pearls in the centers. I think the folded ribbon gave it a nice elegant look.
