I changed: red to pink, added a ribbon, changed theme, change spotlight placement, added CB bg.
The cake stamp is from a set of birthday stamps that I opened the package and threw away, so I don't know the brand as it is not on the stamp itself. I stamped the cake three times with Whispers Black and a fourth time onto a separate piece of white cs. I colored with lavender and orange colored pencils and then used pink and white liquid pearls for the icings. I added Fruit Punch stickles for the sprinkles. I used my new circle nesties to punch it out.
For the base, I ran my card through the CB using the dotted ef. I still have to figure out how to do both sides of the card without flattening some. I'm working on that! I added a sweet piece of pink swiss dotted ribbon with a bow.
The happy birthday sentiment is on the inside.
What do you think?
