Am I Too Late For Cake Card

This is the other belated birthday card I needed.

I scoured my friend’s Facebook page, looking for photos & videos of her dogs. I discovered I need  A LOT more practice coloring dogs (and black is particularly difficult) that are supposed to look like actual real dogs!

The cake was originally going to be yellow cake with chocolate ganache between the layers. It is those colors. BUT, I know that chocolate is not a dog friendly food item, so, please use your positive imagination to come up with a ganache flavor that would work for dogs. Maybe kibble ganache?

Supplies: Stamps – Essentials by Ellen, Lawn Fawn, Impression Obsession, paper – My Mind’s Eye Hello World, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy, Soft Sky, inks – Copic B02, BV29, E23, E51, R02, Y17, 110, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Essentials by Ellen (cake), Lawn Fawn (dogs), Simon Says Stamp (banner), embossing powder – Stampendous Detail Clear.


Denim Square Hello Card

I am working on a request for more “hello” cards, and some that are gender neutral.

This is a square card (4.25 x 4.25 inches), because of the pattern on the denim paper. And, sadly, this was my last scrap of very old denim paper. I suppose I need to cruise by JoAnn’s and Michael’s to see if either of them have anything similar now.

Have a nice weekend!

Supplies: Paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise, die – Essentials by Ellen.
