Here we go for the final Jacksonbelle Embellishments challenge of 2008!!! For the last challenge the details are these ~
New Year’s Eve
gives some people the hope of a new beginning, a fresh start, the BIRTH of a NEW DAY!!!! Lindsey’s BIRTHDAY is January 4th so
in celebration of the New Year AND
Lindsey’s Birthday, make a Birthday card!!!
How easy is that? Here is my card for this challenge ~
The base of this 5" square card is Chocolate Chip cardstock and then a mat of Baja Breeze on the bottom and a decorative piece of paper from THIS Basic Grey Collection on the top. I then added a mat of Whisper White and then Chocolate Chip which I cut using THIS Nestabilities Labels 1 collection. I added a decorative piece from the Offbeat Collection and then ran a piece of May Arts White Satin Ribbon on top and then another piece of Chocolate and Soft Sky May Arts ribbon on top of that. The focal image cupcake is from THIS Inkadinkado cupcake set. I stamped the image using Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out using the same Nesties set. Before I removed the die, I sponged the edges with first Chocolate Chip ink and then a little Baja Breeze ink. I stamped the cupcake again on Whisper White cardstock and then again on Baja Breeze cardstock. I cut out the Baja Breeze cupcake holder piece and adhered it on top of the first stamped image. I cut the white frosting out , added Baja Breeze on the swirls using a blender pen and then mounted it on top of the first stamped image using dimensionals. I then added Copper Stickles to the confetti on the frosting.
The final touch was to add the piercing from an Ornare template on each corner. I then added a clear rhinestone to each corner! That's it! Hope you enjoyed our challenges and that you can play along! The details on ALL challenges are available HERE!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
