A wonky happy birthday cake...

I received this "wonky birthday cake" die set a few weeks ago and finally got around to making up a card. I love this fun image with its star-flame candles.

This picture is a bit blurry, but it gives you a good sense of the proportions of the layers.

I cut each layer and then colored in every other stripe with an alcohol marker that was a bit darker than the cardstock I had used.

The set actually does cut out the individual stripes, but coloring them is definitely quicker, and I think it looks just as good.

The cake platter (as well as the "Happy Birthday" sentiment) was cut from a piece of silver metallic cardstock. A few white stars were added around my sentiment.

The little dots in between each layer were made with white Nuvo Drops.

On the inside of my card, I added three strips of cardstock in the same colors I had used for my cake. The sentiment here was created on my computer.

I plan to use this die set a lot. It's just so perfect for birthday cards. I can see adding a few flowers, though, and turning it into a wedding or anniversary card, as well. 

My granddaughter will have her graduation party on Saturday, and I plan to spend the day on Friday, helping my daughter get ready for it. I'm really looking forward to it. Graduations are such happy occasions!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
