Well over at
http://toffchallenge.blogspot.co.uk it's Octopode challenge blog's first birthday and the challenge was to create a birthday card. I used steampunk Violet and had fun colouring her with my promarkers. I absolutely LOVE Lily's images and her new steampunk ladies are absolutely FAB ! I couldn.t wait to get started and thought it would be fun to have Violet jumping out of a cake so thats what I did!
I cut out a 3 tier cake card blank (A bit of a mouthful lol) and decorated it with Wild Rose Studio papers. I defined the cake tiers with peeloff lace and added a 'starburst' to the top where Violet is emerging from the cake.
A close-up of the lovely Violet.
I added 'Time to celebrate@ in my own writing and stamped 'happy birthday' 3 times across the bottom. I thought 'time to celebrate ' went well as Violet's hair is made up of lots of clock faces! Hope Lily likes her birthday card :)
Wonderful! What a fun idea! Who wouldn't want an Octopode jumping out of a cake for their birthday? I love the cake and the coloring on Violet is lovely. This piece makes me want to sing Happy Birthday and blow out candles :) Thanks for joining the party at TOFF!
