C is for Cake!
While I have cake stamps (although not as many as you might think), I also have some patterned paper journalling cards featuring fun cake images. This particular one is about the only reason I would combine red and orange on a card — one of my least favourite colour combinations. Surprisingly, I rather like it here. Although it doesn't particularly show in the photo, there is a woven appearance to the background of the journalling card that I echoed on the card base. I decided to cut back the front of the card a bit and line the inside with a strip of the same patterned paper I used on the front. The candle flames and — heat waves? — have a couple of coats of Wink of Stella on them for shine.

What a cool card! Love that journaling card you used. Lol about the red and orange, but I think it works, too. I really like how you cut the edge of the card.
Happy May 24 fellow Canuck (even if it's only the 16th)
Journal cards are awesome aren't they?? I need to use them more!
Fab cake card sistah! Love the bright & cheery colours!!

Love these warm colours together - they definitely pack a punch and really let the candles and sentiment pop!
Perfect colors for a perfect journal card! Love your card design!
You know, now that you mention it I really don't have many cake stamps. Hmm. Cupcakes, yes. I really like the red & orange together here! and lining the inside is a fun touch :)
I'm not a big fan of orange and red either, but it works well here. The card/cake almost look like fabric. Hmm, I'm not sure I have ANY cake stamps. Reason to go shopping? Yeah, like I NEED a reason, right?
This is super cute! I always love when I can find things that make card making easier - like those panel card. Bright and fun and all things good!
That cake is on fire Lindsey! ;) Love the tilted panel and the blend of patterns and colours!
Cool card! I like how those colors work together too! Heat wave flames...hmmmm,is the card for someone going through menopause?
Very cool card..You can't go wrong with orange.
