Happy Earth Day, hope yours has been enjoyable.
I have family in for the weekend, so this is a scheduled post.
And it's something bold, bright and yummy!
😋
I made this birthday card for one of my nieces who is a teacher and loves bright retro colors, books and cupcakes! I just kinda closed my eyes and thought back to the psychedelic 60's. Actually, I was surprised to find these designer papers in my stash.
And I found this Polkadoodles digi in my computer files to use as my focal image. I guess it's already retired from 2022, because I searched their store and did not find it.
Supply List:
SU card stock base
Anna Griffin Riley designer papers
Springhill Digital card
Polkadoodles Cupcake on Pile of Books digi stamp (retired), colored with Promarkers
MFT and Hero Arts sentiments, stamped with Glamorous Versafine Clair ink
And heat-embossed with clear powder
Clear Dollar Designer Labels and Tags dies
Sakura Stardust glitter pens
Viva Decor Pearl Paint Pen
Ok, I do not know why the sentiment layer looks like it has a bulge in it. It's not there in real life. I created and framed it in PSE, attempting some punny humor about the books and the cupcake on front.
The back has more of the Anna Griffin designer papers and a stamped, colored and circle-punched siggie.
Close-up to show the embossing on the strawberry and the sentiment. Also, glitter penning on the book spines and dotty cupcake icing sprinkles. Also, the dots around the sentiment were made with a Viva Decor paint pen.
One last look.

I will catch up on my blog visits after our guests leave.
Until then take care and thanks for the visit!

That's a Groovy birthday card I'm certain your niece will love. I remember my older sisters wearing Mini Dresses in these colors and patterns. Actually leaving for school in something my mother approved and then changing in the girls restroom at the high school. I was still in grammar school so the mini dresses bypassed me. Those were the days! Thanks for playing along at the Paper Funday Challenge, we love seeing everyone's lovely projects.

Love your card! That paper makes me think of the Scooby Doo van, and books and cupcakes are a great combination. Thanks for sharing with us at the Paper Funday Challenge!
I love the contrast between pink and orange. Those colors work so well together and are always a fun combo. Isn't it great how color speaks a lot of info? This is a fun birthday card. Happy new week. hugs-Erika
