Time for cards again

It is nice to be able to post again as it has been couple of weeks since my last post.  I have been busy as my younger daughter turned 1 on 16th February.  We had a family BBQ in the weekend following her birthday and then a morning tea with a few mums and their children on Monday last week, so I haven't had much time to do any cards, until today. At the end of my post I will show you the cake I made for her birthday.

The card I made today is for the following challenges:
Lily Pad Cards - Simon Says Stamps Presents a Kissing Challenge - using the technique of kissing two stamps together
Penny Black Allsorts -February Challenge - Colour bingo. I chose the line that had the colours yellow, white and black.

I have two versions of my card.

Here is the first one:
Yellow flower - version 1

Supplies:
Hero Arts Four flowers stamp CG290 & Envelope stamp S5507 using the kissing technique.  To find out more about this technique, click here.
Hero Arts Little Greetings Happy Birthday C5594
Cuttlebug folder - Floral Screen
Black and white twine
Rhinestones - coloured with black copic marker
Butterfly punch (used in the second version)

Here is the second version:
Yellow flower - version 2
After taking the first photo, I decided it wanted to add a little more to the card, so I added some butterflies.  This second one is the one I am entering into the challenges. 


And here is the cake I made for my daughter's first birthday.  She has a small Hello Kitty soft toy she really likes so I decided to make that the theme of her cake.


Hello Kitty cake for Amanda's first birthday
Last week (after making this cake) I started a night course for 6 weeks on cake decorating.  Hopefully I will learn lots of new things and some tricks of the trade to help me with future cakes!

Thanks for dropping by and for your comments.

    I could never have made that cake--I'm impressed! Your daughter & I almost share birthdays--can't imagine you can make cards with a 1 yr old! Thanks for your visit to my new blog--I really appreciate it! Your cards are lovely--great idea to use the embossed bg.
