STAMPlorations Stamp Spotlight Week - Day 1

and today we're showcasing an awesome new set!



Spotlight on WORLD BIRTHDAY CAKES

preview-TBSWorldBirthdayCakes

Isn't that a simply fabulous set?  Here's what I came up with...


I first took the Nestled Circles stencil and sponged on broken china Distress ink and then splattered some water on to give the sponged parts some interesting texture.  Then I masked off a narrow strip along the edge and sponged it with black ink.  I stamped my Chrysler Building cake and sentiment in black StazOn ink and watercoloured overtop with broken china Distress ink.  I splattered some of the same colour as well as some watered down black ink.  I matted my panel in black and then attached it to my card base with some foam dots.  I love how this card turned out.  I can't wait to play with the other stamps too!  :-)

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here.
