Birthday cake card

 Hi Everyone, a card for my eldest brother today, I made it for a DT post and forgot I had made it, I had put it in a pile of cards made for birthdays. 

My excuse is, I bought a new guillotine, with Christmas money, that can cut A3 card, so I can easily cut 5x7inch cards landscape. I am so excited, as the only way I could do it before was to use my Silhouette.

I always look through my files for birthday, it doesn't always, but for this card it turned up trumps, yet again.

I took the Baker and the sentiment into Silhouette, then placed them as I wanted them. Next, I added his age and the sentiment. The page design and 3 copies of the Baker were printed. The Baker was coloured with markers, although not my best effort, I hope my brother doesn't notice. They were glued together.

The background paper was printed, and the baker layer was added to it, with the die cut sentiment.

Baking Chef - Dr Digi, Baking Brian (my brother is also Brian 😁)
inks - Spectrum Noir markers
sentiment copied from - From the Heart Stamps, Cat Pout
background paper - Marisa Lerin at Digital Scrapbook.com

Super card for your Brother Faith and what a fun sentiment.

You'll find that larger cutter so useful, as with Emma, I use mine to cut card blanks, invaluable.
