Happy Birthday Cake

Hi Friends!  I hope  you're having a great day!  I just wanted to remind you that there is still time to play along with this month's challenge.   On the first of every month we announce the challenge and you get most of the month to join us!  Just link up your design with an on line gallery like Flickr, Splitcoaststampers or Instagram.  We select one card that we like best as the monthly winner, and then randomly select one entrée as the winner of a $20 gift card to the store. 

This month's challenge is called "Take The Cake". We're looking for cards that feature cake, or celebrating occasions where cake is appropriate like birthday, weddings, etc. Basically we're looking for reasons to celebrate!

I wanted my cake to have painted flowers on the side so I stamped this beautiful bouquet from Memory Box's Cheerful Floral stamp set on a piece of white cardstock and cut it with the bottom layer of the cake from the Floral Cake Pop Up Easel set. I colored the flowers with alcohol makers. I'm not a big "blender". I like to color each petal in a different shade of color to a stained glass look.

I added a Scallop Pipnpoint Ring as a "doily" to set the cake on. A simple Happy Birthday Poe Script in gold looks like icing on the cake. I embellished the cake with Bunches O'Butterflies layered butterflies in yellow and topped with fairy gems. Layer Cake Drip Icing in chocolate looks like ganache!

The background is the white card base topped with a Penelope Pinpoint Frame in soft coral topped with a Pointy Lattice Plate in a darker shade.

If you're a big fan of Poppystamps this is one challenge you won't want to miss!
