Eat Cake

Happy waltz day, friends! Every 17th of the month, all of the fans of Waltzingmouse Stamps get together for a blog waltz to share inspiration and have some fun! The theme of this month's waltz is birthdays! If you just popped by, head over to the Waltzingmouse Forum to get started. And, if you aren't yet a member, why don't you join us? There's lots of fun chat about all things crafting (and Ireland!) :)
I have to say this card is a bit of a departure from my usual style - I actually cracked open my dusty Stampin' Up! Brights! I don't think I've ever used this many bright ink pads on one card before and it was a lot of fun!

I stamped the small cake image from Eat Cake in a number of different colors, added black cake stands and black flowers for contrast, and added tiny gold rhinestones to the centers of all of the flowers. I tied some black and white baker's twine around the panel and tied a tag I stamped with a sentiment from the set to it.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see all of you here again next month! Off for some waltzing myself!

Supplies: Stamps - Eat Cake (WMS), Cardstock - Pixie Pink, Whisper White (SU!), Ink - Pixie Pink, Tempting Turquoise, Garden Green, YoYo Yellow, Basic Black (SU!), Rhinestones (Crafta), Twine (Divine Twine), Tag (my stash), Corner Chomper, Foam Squares
