It's All About The Cake

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you're having a good week so far!  Today is going to be our last day of sun for a few days, but I really can't complain, since the last few days have been so nice!  I'm popping in quickly to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing when I can.  One of them is ending soon, so I didn't want to miss the deadline.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Marina Mist and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Hootenanny 6x6 pad.  My fun image is Swoopy Melva from MayzyArt.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles here and there for added sparkle, Liquid Pearls to the pearls in her hair and Glossy Accents to the cherry on the cake.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  With all those layers, I kept the extra embellishments to a minimum, adding only three lime green gems in the top corner.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I've got to head out shortly, but I will be back later this afternoon and will visit your blogs then.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
MayzyArt Challenge #15 (grow-which is what I would do if I ate these yummy sweets!)
Incy Wincy Challenge (sketch with lots of layers)
Cute Card Thursday #265 (cakewalk)
Digi Galore Challenge (one for the girls)
Digital Tuesday Challenge #207 (birthdays)
Corrosive Challenge #172 (life's special occasions)

Here is the Incy Wincy sketch:


Have a great day and see you soon!
