Let the crafting continue.... I loved Newton's Nook Inky Paws Sketch Challenge for the month of August and was inspired to create a few Halloween cards! I was also inspired by Simon Says Stamp Instagram challenge to make circle cards! So I combined the two challenges and made some fun circle Halloween cards following the inky paws sketch (sketch photo at the end of post). I loved how the cards turned out! I have a video of the cards being made at the end of this post, I hope you will check it out! 

Here is one of the "spooky" cards:

A Hot Pink Almost-Tipping-Over Birthday Cake Card

Hello everyone! We can't believe summer is almost over! This summer has been flying by way too fast!!

If you like our blog and posts we would love for you to give our blog a follow, push "follow" button on the --> right side, you may need to scroll a bit to find it!

Inspired by all the fun challenges and have a bit more time to craft, I made this fun card inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch & Color Throwdown color challenges! I did also make this card for the Simon Says Stamp Monday blog challenge which was Happy Birthday, but I didn't get this card edited and posted fast enough to enter it! Tis life! :) 

I loved how this card turned out! The sketch was a perfect way to show of the fun stacks of cake! The color challenge was super fun to create the colors of the cake, I loved the photo and used a lighter peach and darker peach found in the photo. The links, sketch, and color inspiration can be found at the end of this post! I hope you like the card! I also have a video of me making the card, its a the end of this post as well, I hope you will check it out! 

Here is the card:

Products I used:

• Olivia Rose Build A Cake Die Set
• Tim Holtz Crazy Talk Stamp Set
• Tim Holtz Distress Fossilized Amber & Picked Raspberry Spritz
