The Challenge 61-Whisking You a Sweet Birthday

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge! *** 

The Challenge is back with a new challenge! Next up in our rotation is a photo inspiration challenge.  I took my inspiration from the photo's color scheme and the cake stand seen on the table in the photo.

My cake is from the SugarPea Designs Whisky Business stamp set.  I colored up the cake with Copic markers and cut it out with the matching SugarCuts Whisky Business die.  I used foam tape to adhere it to a white cardstock circle, then layered the circle on to a slightly larger minty green circle. 

Once the cake was done, I assembled the card using one of the SPD Sugar Sketches from earlier this month as inspiration.  The circles were adhered to a strip of pink dotted patterned paper.  After edging the strip with some cream trim, I adhered it to a pale gray cardstock panel.  A trio of pink and mint pierced fishtail flag strips, cut with a die from the SugarCuts Gift Tag die set, was arranged beneath the image panel.  I stamped the set's "whisking you a sweet birthday" sentiment next to the cake in black ink to complete the design.
