Eat Cake!

 I had a few friends growing up that when the going got tough, we would get together and eat our ultimate comfort food.......cake! I am still friends with a few of these amazing ladies although we don't live close enough to each other to do an impromptu cake get together like we used to. However, when we are able to get together ...you know there will be cake! Baking gnome from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of these days and friends so I decided to use him for a card for one of them.

I coloured with Copic markers and cut the stamp out using a square xstitch die. I found some patterned paper from Memory Box and cut it to fit my A2 size card base. To create the wave, I cut the paper with a hill die and then trimmed the straight edge off to the size I wanted after laying it beside the larger piece. I used an embossing folder the add some texture to both of these pieces before gluing them down. I cut a banner to go behind the image, stamped the sentiment and cut it out with an oval die. All of the paper and stamped image are inked around the edges with London Fog ink. After gluing the banner down, I cut the stamp square with the stamped image to fit the edge of the card and glued the sentiment down over one corner. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
