Make a Wish

I have another card using the latest Craftwork Cards Stamp Club Kit to share today.

I stamped the three cake layers in pink this time and over-stamped the pattern in brown - the pattern is also part of the stamp set along with the cake stand.

The sentiment banner is a stamp from Simon Say Stamp and the papers are from Bearly Mine Designs, sadly no longer trading.

I went to see The Greatest Showman with my son last night, it is very different from the type of film I would normally watch but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it if you are thinking about going.
