Add some fun ink blending to your next card project and take this hot-pink birthday card to the next level with a matching tiered birthday cake!
Who remembers the classic “Pretty in Pink” birthday cake scene? This cake would have been perfect for that, don’t ya think? Today Amy is showing off this super fun ink-blended ombre card featuring our Waterolored birthday cake set. You can see yesterday’s post showing off this cake in hues of blue, which are equally as stunning. Check out these steps to see how Amy made this hot pink ombre birthday card, and it to your “to be made” list!
- I started by stamping the birthday cake from the 35042 Watercolor Birthday Cake stamp set.
- I stamped Mango from Color Fuse Set # 2 for the candle flame.
- I stamped Crimson from the Color Fuse set # 4 for the interior candle flame.
- For the cake layers, I used:
- Posey – Color Fuse set # 4
- Blush – Color Fuse set # 5
- Fuchsia – Color Fuse set # 5
- I die cut the cake using the 5802-05D Dash Dot Nested Arches Die.
- I die cut the coordinating solid arch using the 5715D Stacked Arches.
- I used the Posey ink from Color Fuse Set # 4 to ink up the edges of the Stacked Arch.
- I adhered the two arches using the Glue Press.
- I ink blended a panel with the following inks:
- Posey – Color Fuse set # 4
- Blush – Color Fuse set # 5
- Fuchsia – Color Fuse set # 5
- Trimming down the ink blended panel by 1 inch, I stamped the coordinating sentiment in black.
- The Arch panels were adhered to the ink blended panel with foam adhesive.
- I finished off the card with black hemp twine and a button.
