My mom's celebrating a milestone birthday this week, so I baked a special 6-layer rainbow birthday cake and made this card for her. The rainbow cake has a back story. When I was little, I used to make rainbow cakes from Legos which I modeled after actual rainbow cakes sold at our local grocery store. Decades later, we've still never tried one, so I decided I could make one. It's gigantic and so full of frosting that it will probably be too sweet to eat, but I had to give it a try!
The card actually has a bit of a rainbow look going on, too. That's not intentional. I decided to use some of the new Paper Smooches stamps I won on World Card Making Day. This set is called
Perpetual Bliss.
If you're a regular visitor, you know I'm not one to use glitter as it's not safe for OWH cards. I did use a bunch of DCWV glitter paper for this card because it's not going to OWH. It was fun to use some of it up. The border punch is American Girl/EK Success as is the music note punch. I punched the music notes from Making Memories Slice black adhesive vinyl. I used a couple of silver brads to highlight the knobs on the jukebox.
