SWEET CAKE




SWEET,and PINK says it all. Start this card with a little bit of prep work.A fun technique using re inkers and shaving cream was used  to create the back ground that our cupcake is sitting on. Use inexpensive shaving cream.Spray it on a disposable cookie tray.Drop drops of ink from reinkers (I used Rangers Distress brand).Drag a knife through the mixture to give a marble effect.Place card stock on the mixture ,lift off and wipe with a paper towel.It will dry almost instantly.This card stock was then cut with Nellie's Oval die. Spray with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water.Set aside to dry. Cut white card stock  8 1/2 x 11 in half length wize. Cut three pieces of co-ordinating pinks sized to  layer and frame each other.On separate piece of white card stock stamp just the cup cake from Under Constructions Mug's and Kisses stamp.Colour in pinks and browns.Mount this on the oval die cut.If you use double sided foam it will add dimension.Stamp Kisses from same stamp and cut in the shape of a tag.Mount on a pink tag.Your final step is the sprinkle of clear crystal glitter.  SWEET.
