I decided to go a different route and use my Amuse skinny oval stamp. I have used it often to ground images such as chairs and animals. For this card, I chose to use it as a base for this festive birthday cake. I'm not sure of the brand, although I do know it was an inexpensive acrylic stamp from Michaels.
I used a strip of designer paper from My Mind's Eye on each card and added a simple sentiment tag. On the vertical card I also popped up the birthday cake and colored the flames with a silver gel pen.
My posts have been pretty random these days. Thank you so much for popping in to say hello when I do make it into blogosphere. :)

Love your clever use of an oval, and I love the monochrome colour scheme too.
What a lovely "clean" card, LOVE it.
Sorry been missing of late but I have caught up with most of your work and fab it is too.
Hi Ann, You've made beautiful clean and simple cards for LIM this week and you really confused me, I couldn't see the oval on it? Clever :0) Thank you for telling me where it was LOL LOL Gay x
Mama, way to rock the oval! You are too clever to even think about using that stamp and that makes it unique, so it's a winner in my book. I love the turquoise patterned papers and the flickering candles - like it both ways actually. Just too cute!
Your oval stamp is the perfect addition to this card... It grounds the cake stand perfectly. What a useful part of your crafting arsenal.
Thanks so much

Great designs Ann! Love how you have grounded the image, I only have one stamp like this and it's quite big.. might need to do a little more stamp investing.
Fab cards and a great use of your oval
