Carousel Birthday Twist & Pop

I love the Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper and have been guilty of storing it rather than using it: #loveitchopit !!   I also had a spare Twist & Pop card left over from demonstrating at our last card-making gathering.

The ferris wheel image is echoed in the background paper

The image and greeting are stamped with Basic Black ink onto Very Vanilla card.  I added some sponging with Soft Sky ink as well as some edging with Basic Black ink.  I partially cut the ferris wheel with a Layering Circle die (using the Out of the Box technique to preserve the cupcakes) and adhered it to a larger Soft Sky circle that I'd edged with black ink. 

I stamped, coloured and cut more cupcakes and popped them into position with little pieces of Foam Adhesive.

The dimension on the cupcakes and the greeting can be seen from the side

There are many great tutorials available for this clever fun fold

I decorated the inside of the card with more of the Cupcakes & Carousels paper as well as some Bermuda Bay layers on the four central panels.

I stamped the horse four times with Basic Black ink on Very Vanilla card, coloured them with Watercolour Pencils and an Aqua Painter and then cut them out.  I did give the poles, the manes and tails a base coat with a Soft Sky Stampin' Write Marker before adding a little shading with the Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencil.

I stuck them to the panels at different heights to (hopefully) give the impression of the horses going up and down on a carousel.

The horses are grey with pale blue manes & tails.  The colours for their livery are taken from the paper

I stamped the tents with Basic Black ink onto the patterned paper and then again onto Soft Sky card.  I cut around the Soft Sky tents and glued them into position.

The area of writing a greeting is a piece of Very Vanilla card, cut with one of the Lots of Labels dies and edged with Basic Black ink.

The horses are at different levels to give the appearance of a carousel
