Cake TIme!

When it comes to cake, bigger is better! I just wish I could bake one as pretty as the one on my card! My cakes either look good or taste good. Never both!

 I created this card that features the new Slim Cake Perfectly Clear Stamp Set by Stampendous! This set comes with three cake stamps that you can layer almost any way you want to create a regular size card or a trendy slimline card. Plus the set also includes a birthday sentiment, an anniversary sentiment, a two-part sentiment, two candles, and a heart.

6. Set these elements aside.
7. Use magnets to secure the the Distressed Bricks stencil over a piece of grey cardstock on the STAY-tion.

9. Brush Rusted Hinge Distress ink over the the stencil to add additional color variations to the brick. Brush off the excess ink onto scrap paper.
10. Brush a small amount of Aged Mahogany Distress ink over the stencil to deepen the color, then brush the excess ink onto a piece of scrap paper.
11. Repeat Step #10 with Pumice Stone, then Black Soot Distress ink to dirty the bricks a bit.
12. Keeping the stencil in place, lightly trace the bricks with a black chalk pencil.
13. Remove the stencil and clean.
14. Continue to add black chalk pencil details to the mortar and the brick, then blend with a q-tip, your finger, or a tissue.
15. Trim blue cardstock 6" x 8.25".
16. Use magnets to secure the Cloudy Day stencil over the blue cardstock onto the STAY-tion.
17. Use the Hunkydory Blending Tool to sponge Sharktooth White Atelier Fusion ink over the stencil onto the blue cardstock. Remove the stencil and clean. Heat set the clouds.
18. Remove the stenciled blue cardstock from the STAY-tion and use magnets to secure it to the base of a stamping platform.
19. Place the birds stamp from the Small Elements Set 2 Clear Stamp Set by That's Crafty* facedown on the top right of the blue panel. Press the lid onto the back of the stamp and lift.

25. Heat set the clouds, birds, and compass at the top of the blue cardstock. 
26. The white fusion ink interfered a bit with the black ink, so went over the birds with a black marker, then heat set again because why not?
27. The brick stenciled grey cardstock was adhered to the base of the blue panel, which was then trimmed to 5.25" wide. The entire panel was edged with Black Soot Distress ink.

30. Several layers of Clear Glaze pen were added to the small compass in the sentiment.
31. The sentiment panel was adhered as shown.
32. The card front was adhered to the black card and I called it done!

* I think the Small Elements Set 2 Clear Stamp Set by That's Crafty* will be incredibly useful. The stamps are sized to fit inchies, twinchies, dominos, and other small things. It's new to Topflight Stamp Store along with three other sets of Small Elements Clear Stamp Sets and some wonderful Dinky Stencils.
