Based on this sketch, I made the following card:
The original image had a large scallop circle under the stamped image. Since I don't have a large scallop circle cutter, I had to improvise a bit. I had seen an image where the chef in the Voila stamp set was cut off at the middle, and I liked the different look that it gave, so I thought I would give it a try here.
The base of the card is Sahara Sand cardstock, accented by Brocade Blue cardstock. The images were stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock. The printed paper is Bella Bleu DSP.
To create the circle image behind the chef, I used the scallop punch, and cut 6 scallop circles and positioned them to create a circle.
The stamped images come from the Voila stamp set. I stamped the chef onto a piece of cardstock, then positioned the cake stamp using the Stamp a ma jig to center the cake on the platter. I cut out the portion of the chef image that I wanted for my card and used Brocade Blue, Not Quite Navy, and Gray markers to color in the chef and create some shading. Silver brads were used on the chef jacket in place of the black dots on the stamped image. The corners of the cardstock were rounded using the corner rounder, with one corner left square.
The Happy Birthday was stamped using Brocade Blue and adhered to a piece of cardstock cut using the Scallop punch. Holes were cut in the stamped image using the crop-a-dile, and jute twine was run through the holes and wrapped around the card.
