For both cards I used a stamp set from Hero Arts that allows you to build your own cake.
I made a birthday card and a wedding card, each card was based on a sketch - I love using sketches.
1) BIRTHDAY CARD
I needed a birthday card for my teenaged nephew and I made him a card with a chocolate cake with candles and stars. I cut a banner from a scrap of DP and stenciled the background with a Pinfresh Studio stencil and Speckled egg DOx, I love this colors and I think it looks great with brown. The letters are old chipboard ones that I colored with a brown Promarker and a white Posca pen.
This card is also for Freshly Made Sketches - #485

2) WEDDING CARD
I'm in no rush for a wedding card, but I have none in my stash, so at some point it will come in handy. I I heat embossed the sentiment and the mandala (stamp from Papirdersign) with white. The background was made with a pink DOx and gold paint. I die cut a frame, found a piece of lace and flowers from my stash.
