Birthday Cake Shaped Card


















Created this shaped Birthday Cake Card
using Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. First
time for me making a shaped birthday cake
card.

Used brown color to resemble chocolate.
Used embossing to add decorated swirls
for texture. Used striped embossing for
candle to resemble a real birthday candle
and chose to not use the stripe paper pieces.
Used liquid Pearls on the candle to give it
the real wax look. Used glitter for flame.
