Concord & 9th is celebrating big! And I was the lucky recipient of some giveaway goodies this month.
Another reason to celebrate: they now have a new Challenge Blog (Wherecreativitymeetsc9.com) started by the fabulous Jessica Frost-Ballas. So I thought I would play along in the very first challenge!
The theme is “Celebration.” Here is my celebration cake card for the occasion:
You guys, this cake from the Happy Day set is SO MUCH FUN to watercolor! I knew I wanted to use my very favorite colors (turquoise and yellow) on this card. And I wanted a chocolate cake. Yum. The frosting in between layers is sparkly (is there such thing as a sparkly frosting? I don’t know…but on MY cake there is!)
And I painted on the stripes using a new-to-me method I learned from my Instagram friend, Alba. (Thanks for the tip, friend!) I used a ruler and just painted on those stripes around the cake. (Awesome)!
I used my favorite Sophisticated Script set from Concord & 9th to spell “Enjoy.” I want to make about 100 of these cards in different colors. That’s how delighted I was at stamping and coloring this image.
Happy Birthday, Concord & 9th and Happy Celebration for the new challenge blog!
May your days be filled with sunshine,
LOVE your beautifully colored cake against the yellow stripes, so pretty!! So happy you could play along with us for our first challenge at Where Creativity Meets C9!
Your card is so beautiful, Kari. Your coloring is perfect and I love the striped background! So glad you joined in for the first challenge.
Kari, this card is fantastic! The stripes are so chic, the coloring so lovely, and the sparkly frosting is PERFECT. If someone hasn’t already created a way to make frosting sparkly, they need to do so ASAP! 🙂 Such a lovely entry. Thanks so much for joining us over at Where Creativity Meets C9!!
