I am always a fan of watercolour and this gorgeous new Birthday Cake stamp is fun to paint. I have used an aquapainter and took the colours from the beautiful DSP from the Best Dressed suite. The images were heat embossed with white for the painting guidelines.
Stampin' Up! make so many brilliant embellishments and I think the candles are the perfect size for this size cake. Even more amazing is that there are now Coordination products available for a lot of the SAB and Mini Catalogue products including thinlits which will cut both the cake image and the floral elements of this image. Yay! I've ordered mine and look forward to using them.
I also used one of the silver mini library clips to add the birthday greeting which is from the retired Teeny Tiny Sentiments as I just wanted something small on the front. I also added a little bit of silver foil and painted the cake stand with my old Silver Wink of Stella over the basic grey.
I fussy cut one of the cakes and softened the DSP with some vellum so the paper and the image weren't competing. A little bit champagne foil and some rose metallic thread gives a touch of sparkle.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
