It was my birthday last week, and I thought my birthday cake packaging and ribbon would be great to recycle to create an art journal page, so here it is (smile).
I started by adding the wording “Have your cake & eat it”, which I ripped from the bag that the cake came in and then stuck into place using a glue stick. Then I added clouds over the page covering the wording too, to match the blue cloudy sky design on my cake, using Speckled Egg and Salty Ocean Distress Ink and a Slimline Sunburst Stencil/Mask by Marianne Design. The circles were die cut from the cake box packaging and I arranged them onto the page with the pretty rainbow ribbon which was around the base of the cake. To finish, I added some Tim Holtz Label Stickers to the circles; they read “Happy Birthday, “Eat cake”, “Thanks” and “Make a wish”.
Don’t forget that there is still another week to join our Rainbow Colours challenge over at Try it on Tuesday, it would be lovely to see you there.
Here’s my birthday cake, it was a light sponge cake filled with buttercream and raspberry jam, covered and topped with royal icing decoration; it was very yummy and we needed a fire engine with all the candles my mum added to it (smile!).
Hoping that you all stay safe and well! x
Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.
