This is my card for HYCCT1219, birthday celebrations in pink.
For the cake, I stamped and embossed three times, on black embossed with clear, on dsp embossed with white and on dsp embossed with black. I fussy cut the pieces from the dsp and attached them to the image on the black paper. The entire cake was cut out mounted on the card base with foam tape.
The card base was created using SB Matting Basics and A2 Polka Dots.
The inside has the middle cut-out from the polka dot frame embossed with a white sentiment that says "Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake."
I love how this turned out!

Love the colors and the different ways you embossed the layers. I just bought this stamp the other day and have been looking for great ways to use it, putting this in my favorites for future reference.
