I love simple designs on my cards as you probably have noticed already! So when I came up with this idea I wanted to just use a present stamp, Washi Tape, simple sentiment, sparkly embellishments and a small amount of ribbon.
I decided to go with a blue palette - mainly due to the fact that I love blue and secondly because I had some dark blue ribbon off cut that I had been meaning to use up for a while.
I added a washi tape strip to the bottom of the card and stamped three evenly spaced present stamps and added a pink gem between each parcel. This gave the card some sparkle!
The dark ribbon I added to the top of the card and then I stamped the 'eat cake' sentiment in a dark plum to pick up the pink embellishments. The sentiment was cut out using a buckle shaped die and then I dusted around the edges with the same light blue ink that I used for the presents. I hope you enjoy the finished effect and agree that this simple design could work with a variety of palettes that can be mixed or kept plain.
Happy crafting
