Let's Eat Cake

Hello

This month at A Colorful Life Designs, some of the designs are all about cake, party and balloons.

I decided to combine 2 of the new stencils called:

LAYERED CELEBRATION CAKE and STAR STREAMERS

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by die cutting a piece of white cardstock with the Postage Collage Die.  
• I masked off the squares and then placed the STAR STREAMERS stencil over that and inked it up with some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.
• I used the ink left on my blending brush and added some ink to better define the squares of the die.
• I placed the LAYERED CELEBRATION CAKE stencil over another piece of white cardstock and inked that with some Aged Mahogany and some Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide inks.  I used Lumberjack plaid for the candles, Black Soot for the base and some Mustard Seed for the flames.
• Next, I fussy cut the cake out and set it aside.
• I stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner of my die cut postage card front than glued it onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the cake up over the background.

Here are the stencils I used:
