DJKardkreations, Less is More, Happy Little Stampers, Just Us Girls & Time Out!!!

Hope you're all having a great weekend.  The sun is shining down here in Somerset which is lovely.

My great friend Darnell has a NBUS challenge on her blog (acronym for "never-before-used schtuff"),  Less is More have a CASE a DT card, Happy Little Stampers have a sketch challenge, Just Us Girls have a colour challenge - black, white and a colour of your choice and lastly TIME OUT also has a black, white and a splash of one colour challenge.........so I'm entering my card into all of these challenges.  Whoopie - 5 in one go!

First of all I've used my new stamp set SU Big Day which was a freebie with my last order - so that's the NBUS bit; I chose to CASE Chrissie's card which is black, white and red (see below);  Happy Little Stampers sketch is below as are details of Just Us Girls and the TIME OUT challenge is:
 
Clean and Simple

 with the optional twist of:

Black and White plus a Splash of One Colour. 

     
And here is my card:
 
 
A very simple card to make.  I stamped the cake three times across the bottom of the card and coloured the centre cake and the flames with my Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pens.  I then die cut the piece using my Lil'Inker stitched dies.  The sentiment was stamped and the "cake" coloured to match the rest of the card and then cut out and mounted on foam pads.  And that was it - very quick and simple.
 
Thanks for dropping in today.  Please pop on over to the blogs to see all the challenges and maybe join in the fun.
 
Happy crafting.

  14. You go, girl! I'm delighted that you were able to roll FIVE challenges all together to work for your outstanding card, my Karendipity friend! You did a brilliant job with your sweet rendition of b/w and a pop of color! You can't beat a birthday cake (unless it's THREE birthday cakes!) and you certainly can't be a RED birthday cake!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS challenge!! Hugs, Dippy
