Birthday Card for My Favorite Uncle

My very favorite uncle's birthday is coming up this week, and I wanted to make him a VERY special birthday card....I didn't want to make it too fancy, but I wanted it to be special! The blues and browns really work well together in person. I like how the 'plain' front doesn't give away the very busy inside of the card.

I used LOTS of techniques, and my NEW cricut cartridge, Sweet Treats! My husband got blackmailed into buying for me (tee hee) so I thought I'd start making good use of it.

If you look closely at the cake and cakestand, I used the "new" Stampin' Up shimmer paints in Champagne Mist. When it dried on the blue and beige cardstock, it looked SO nice!!!

Products I used:

PK Glitz Indigo Embossing Powder

Sweet Treats DCWV cardstock

Hobby Lobby cardstock in lt. blue, dk. blue, beige, dk. brown, and white

2 Stampin' Up stamps, and 1 Hobby Lobby stamp

1 Stampin' Up punch, and the
