My Favorite Things - August Release Countdown Day 1

Countdown Day 1 is here which means that tomorrow at 10am Eastern you can purchase the goodies from the My Favorite Things August release.    Today my card features 'You Cake My Day' illustrated by Rachelle Anne Miller.

These sweetly illustrated stamps lend themselves to a CAS design nicely and so to that end I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-namics.    I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink together with the Watercolour Wash Square Stencil and softly ink blended the focal point.

I popped the panel in my Misti and stamped the sentiment.  This panel was then adhered to an A2 panel of Princess Pink Prestige Cardstock which in turn was applied to the card base.

I stamped the images from You Cake My Day and coloured them with Copic markers.   Here is my colour palette:-

Browns - E79, E44, E43, E42 E41

Pinks -  R21, R20, R00, R000

Ribbon - E51, E42

I die cut each of the elements using the coordinating die-namics and I used Stickles glitter to glitter up the gift and once that was dry, I backed the pieces with foam tape and applied to the focal point.

There are some tiny stars included in the stamp set and I picked one and just stamped randomly to create a little more interest in the background.    Card complete!
