Eat Cake!

This is the second card that I made for my husband for his birthday, this time from me.  I thought this one turned out to be cute:


I used the same patterned paper that I used for the card from my son, only this time I chose a couple of fun patterns.  Once I chose the cardstock, I stamped the images and decided to colour the image using my Bic Mark Its.  Again I couldn't resist adding some Sakura glitter pen, and this time I added some matching brads.


I haven't set any eyelets for awhile, so I kind of went to town with my Crop-a-dile.  I really like the sewing effect with the ribbon.


To add colour to the inside I used my Cuttlebug to cut the smallest circle from my die set.  I inked them and adhered them randomly.  Overall this was a really a fun card to make! And I think my husband enjoyed me making something for him for a change, lol. :)
