Today is my husband’s birthday, and his birthday card was created with Earthen Elegance Designer Paper. This pattern made me think of Chocolate cake, with frosting oozing down the side. I admit, I have a sweet tooth, but doesn’t it look delicious?
Neil’s birthday cake
After cutting the designer paper, 5 1/2″ X 4 “, I stuck the “cake” to a Thick Very Vanilla card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. All it needed was “Happy Birthday,” which I found in the Wanted To Say Die Set. I cut the words from Very Vanilla frosting, and stuck them to chocolate frosting (Earthen Elegance DSP). The chocolate frosting was thicker, and enabled me to raise the words.
After writing “Happy Birthday,” I decorated the cake with candy from the 2023-2024 In Color Dots.
The last detail was decorating the envelope flap by embossing it with one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, which you can see in the first picture.
I hope Neil likes his cake!
