Full Bloom - It's Your Day

Hi everyone.  Today I'm using a sweet image is from Penny Black's new release Full Bloom.  The stamp set is called It's Your Day (30-553) and it has a matching die (... your day cut out 51-537).  Isn't it cute??  :)

I stamped the cake in black and clear heat embossed.  The cake, candles and sweet party bear were all watercolouring using distress inks.  Clear wink of stella was added to the candles for a little sparkle, and gloss accents to make them shine, but couldn't get that to show in the photos.

I stamped and die-cut two of the images, using one (with coloured candles) as the backdrop, and popping the cake and bear layer on top to add a bit of dimension.., with yellow splatters in the background.

The sentiment (from the same stamp set) is stamped in black and clear heat embossed to match the image.

Here's a close-up ...
