The theme at The Pink Elephant this week is Party Invites. My card is a combination of both a tea party invite and a Mother's Day Card.
My daughter, Shelley, wants to invite Grandma round to her new house for tea around Mother's Day and as she has already asked me to make a card for her to give Gran I decided it might be a good idea to combine the invitation and the Mother's Day card together.
I was thinking along the lines of how we always used to call tea parties 'bun fights' and that led me to trying to create a card around the theme of a cake stand full of buns.
The base of the cake stand was cut using the Celebrations Cricut cartridge and then I added the layers using strips of the same card. The buns are from a really cute stamp set by Hero Arts. I'm disappointed with the card as it's not come out quite like I visualised it, but Gran will love it as it has tons of glitter and bling. My card is also for the challenges at...
- My Time to Craft - Just for Mum (or Grandma)
- Totally Papercrafts - Mum
- Pile it on - one colour and neutral
- Die Cut Dreams - No flowers allowed.
