Life's Sweet

This is a little departure from my recent Halloween creations. However, I thought it was nice to do something cuter rather than creepy or spooky. The card is 4 1/4"x5 1/2." I used a pre-made card by DCWV. I then trimmed a piece of polka-dotted cardstock 1/4" smaller and tied a sheer pink ribbon around it. The cake was cut at 3 1/2" from the Sweet Shop cartridge. I embossed the bottom layer with the Swiss Dots folder so the strawberry would have some texture. I also embossed the frosting layer with the D'vine Swirls folder. After embossing it, I covered the swirls with cotton candy Stickles. I stamped the sentiment on some pink cardstock, then matted it with some darker pink cardstock and adhered it to the card with pop-dots. I then added three pink pearls to the sentiment.

I made this card for the following challenges:

• 365 Cards: "Day 226" - ad inspired (see ad at right)



• Cooking with Cricut: cake, cupcake and/or teddy bear



• Die Cuttin' Divas: any type of dessert



• My Sheri Crafts: think pink
