When I saw Mojo's sketch on Monday I had nothing to pair it with to get me started. I found the inspiration photo on Diva's blog and unearthed my wonderful cake stamp from impression obsession (see above photo). I regret to admit that this card took waaaay to long to create! I cut out pattern paper that was too busy and tried the cake several different ways until I reached my happy place. I ended up stamping the cake on craft paper with brown ink twice and layering the two with pop dots to make it stand out more. I also stamped it a third time on cream colored paper and cut out the plate which helped make the piece of cake become the focal point. The yum yum stamp is a Stampin Up oldie along with the two punches.
TIP: The cream colored paper was a thrift store find of index file cards which are thicker then card stock and great to stamp on.

Great color combinations! This is first card I have seen with a slice of cake in it. IMHO, a slice of cake make the card more 3-D than creating a whole cake. Because of the array browns, this could be a masculine card. What do you think?
Hi Brent! Thanks for your comments I was hoping it was masculine looking I entered it the cards for guys blog challenge too -k
Great design with this fabulous cake image! What a sensational card for Chocolate Cake Day! The diamond patterned background is perfect paired with the fishtail banners on this wonderful layout!
Fab card and I could just eat that cake too ;) Viv xx
FYI. Please fix your link on your website called "Follow me on Pinterest" to aim to "pinterest.com/creativeseconds/". Then you may have a piece of chocolate cake! :) Thanks. Brent
