Have A Cool Birthday!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today’s inspiration is a delightful summer birthday card featuring three of the cutest little ice cream cone critters, and I have to say, this one is absolutely scooper cute!

Supplies used:

Love Is In The Air

Cool Critters

Birthday Cake

I started by blending three soft pastel panels across the background in pink, green and yellow, one behind each ice cream cone. The colours are light and dreamy and give the card a gorgeous fresh sorbet feel. A gold border frames the whole scene and a scattering of gold droplets across the background adds a lovely touch of sparkle throughout.

Now for the stars of the show! Three adorable little animals are each tucked cosily into their very own ice cream cone. On the left, a sweet calico cat peeks out from a mint green scoop topped with whipped cream, a chocolate round and a cherry. In the middle, a fluffy little alpaca or sheep sits in a golden vanilla cone piled high with cream, a chocolate flake and a fresh strawberry on top. And on the right, the most precious little bunny nestles into a pink strawberry scoop, finished with cream and a cherry. Every single cone is perfection and I could not pick a favourite if I tried!

Each cone is beautifully detailed with a classic waffle pattern and the colouring across all three characters is so soft and cohesive, keeping the whole card feeling light and summery.

To finish everything off, the "have a COOL birthday!" sentiment is heat embossed in gold onto a clean white banner at the bottom, with COOL picked out in a bolder font for that fun extra emphasis. It is the perfect finishing touch to such a sweet and cheerful card!

This one is ideal for any summer birthday and guaranteed to make whoever receives it feel like the coolest person around.
