The Craft's Meow July Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the July blog hop with The Craft's Meow! You should have arrived here from Angi's blog but if you missed anything pop back to The Craft's Meow blog for the full list. Today's theme is Mabelle R-O stamp sets! I used one of my favorite sets Sweet Birthday.

I stamped the balloon and stars pattern paper using elements from the stamp set. The balloons are stamped with VersaMagic Pixie Dust and Pink Petunia, the stars with Impress Lemon Yellow and the swirls I stamped using Tumbled Glass Distress Marker. The sweet cake I stamped and colored with Distress Markers (Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed, Tattered Rose and Tumbled Glass). You could stamp some fun background paper for party invitations using this same idea using whatever colors you like!

The sentiment is also from Sweet Birthday. I kept the rest of the card pretty simple with just some pink patterned paper at the top. Instead of a bow I tied a simple knot using twill ribbon.

Here's the stamp set I used on my card today.
