It's All About The Cake

Hello, friends!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope the first half of your week has been great and the rest will be even better!  It continues to be busy around here, but I did manage to finish up a card today that I'm here to share with you.  It is for the Lili of The Valley Birthday Competition.  LOTV is turning 9 and they are celebrating with lots of fun events, including this competition.  Be sure to check out the LOTV's Ideas to Inspire blog for all the details!


Here is my birthday card:


My card base and mats are SU Tempting Turquoise and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Hip Hooray collection.  The adorable image is Rosie With Cake from the Girlie section of the Lili of The Valley store.  I stamped her on Make it Colour Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with my Copics. I cut her out and popped her up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.   I used my Cameo to cut a zig zag border out of turquoise holographic paper and added a couple of holographic present stickers from Jolee's.  It was really hard to get a good pic of the holographic stuff - sorry! You probably can't tell, but one present is pink and the other is orange. A bit of Lime Green and Orange Stickles finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to come by and visit your blogs before the start of American Idol (yep, got sucked in again).

I am entering my card in the following other challenges:
Seems A Little Sketchy #33 (sketch)
Inky Chicks Challenge #4 (Mother's Day or birthday)
Card Makin' Mamas (birthday)
613 Avenue Create #8 (anything goes, option to pile it on)
Digital Tuesday #199 (birthdays)

Here is the SALS sketch:



Have a nice evening and see you tomorrow!
