Audrie gave us a yummy site....beautiful artistic cakes. It was a no-brainer for me today, that's good because my mojo's been missing for awhile. I chose this one because of the digi that would fit it to a tee. http://thecakeblog.com/2016/03/choco...etti-cake.html
This site is not only eye candy, it has many good lessons on design. I found this entry very helpful on focal point. Wanted to share it with you. http://thecakeblog.com/2015/06/gold-honeycomb-cake.html
Since my mojo has been lazy lately, I've been looking for inspiration. This video by limedoodle is excellent on water coloring layers. Here is the video
Back to the card....colored with brush and reinkers. scored lines to make a place for it to rest. Added circles from a stencil. This cake needed some bright and cheery colors, used the ones from yesterday's challenge. Lastly embossed the entire front with clear embossing powder. TFL

If this is missing mojo, mine needs to give yours a call! I love this! Thanks for sharing the links, too!

Your low mojo moments are equivalent to my peak inspiration days, Linda. This is so bright and fun. You just gave me a craving for chocolate cake. You just aced it with your score lines...I would have left the cake floating in air. As always, your watercoloring is to die for great. Thanks for all the links. Faved.

Well you certainly found the perfect digi image and brought it to life with your colouring and design! I'd say that mojo is alive and well...nicely done...this card is fantastic!

When I looked at that huge and yummy-looking slice of cake I said to myself "Now that's 'living large'!" What a fun and creative birthday card! I will take 2 dozen of them! Fabulously inspired design, straight to my favs! Take you so much for adding the extra blog and video inspiration in your description too!
