Birthday Card for My Mom/ Tarjeta de Cumpleanos para Mi Mama

DSCN5065

My mom’s birthday was yesterday so I made a card fitting for her: pretty and fun!

I used the chalk pastels to decorate the cake and light the candles. The pastels are so versatile…you can use them wet for a bold look or dry for a more subtle look. You can also use the pastels in a technique called poppin’ pastels. I will be posting an example of this soon, but I won’t post until after the club meeting—I don’t want to spoil the mystery of the projects for club members :).

TIP: The border around the birthday cake is created using the scallop trim border and scallop trim corner punches. To see more information on these punches see this post with a video tutorial on using the punches.
