CAS-ology + 10 Minute Craft Dash

Here's my second post for today.  :-). I wanted to play along with CAS-ology this week as its been much too long since I did.  Their cue word is "Dessert".  Mmmmm, dessert.  I'll admit I've got a pretty big sweet tooth.  :-). Anyway, I knew exactly what stamp set I wanted to use for this challenge.  It's an older hostess set from SU! called Birthday Bakery.  I also wanted to play along with Pretty Pink Posh's, 10 Minute Craft Dash.  It's a birthday challenge since the craft dash has turned one!  Yay!  :-)

I love this set.  The little cakes are so cute and I love the sentiments too.  Now there are about seven little cakes in a row originally but I only wanted 3 so I only inked these three up.  Then I coloured them in with some markers.  I matted them on some purple card stock.  Next, using my panel as a guide I inked up in black my scroll stamp (Heidi Grace Designs) and stamped it twice so it would show above and below my cake panel.  Then I stamped the sentiment in black as well.  I attached my cake panel with some foam dots.  I stamped the Happy Birthday inside as it looked too busy on the front.  It took me almost the entire 10 minutes but I finished just under the wire at 9 min and 47 secs.  It's the colouring that took most of the time.  :-).

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and if you have a chance, check out the challenges.  Lots of fun and inspiration to be found!  Have a fabulous day!
