Cake & Wishes

I am in LOVE with the cake & wishes stamp set from Penny Black!!

All of the images are so adorable!

I am submitting this to the anything goes challenge (except a

digi) over at Penny Black

I've had the set for a few weeks now but haven't had a chance

to play with it. When I saw the inspiration photo at 

Stampin' Celebration

I knew right away which image I was going to use.

The hardest part of this card for me was the layout! I was working

with the sketch from Sketch Saturday so that shouldn't have 

been a problem because itès a great sketch, but...

as hard as I tried I couldn't get myself to decide on three different

patterns of dsp to use for the card base - and I tried a lot of them!

After what seemed like all day but was really about a half an hour,

a light bulb went off! Why am I trying to use dsp when I can

use 3 pieces of white card stock and emboss each one with a different embossing folder and get all that texture! 

LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!
