• Step 1 Using the 5852-framed scallop with stitch die, cut out your background using the largest die measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″. You will be left with an outer frame and also an inner frame. Color the outer frame in color fuse mist. Lastly add color fuse posey using the 4214 confetti stencil to complete the card background.
• Step 2 Next cut out 5803D slice of birthday cake die along with the icing pieces. For the cake frosting, use color fuse mocha. For the icing, use color fuse posey and lastly use all the colors in color fuse set 10 from light to dark to create the ombre cake layers. For the fifth layer use the darkest color crimson with a heavy hand.
• Step 3 Use the saucer found in 5847-01D large teacup w/ saucer die to serve as a plate for the cake. Next use color fuse chill to shadow the rim of the plate.
• Step 4 The last item you will need to cut are flowers from 5709-02D spring flowers die . The flowers were inked in color fuse posey and scarlet while the flower leaves were inked in color fuse moss. Using 3031 happy birthday #1 stamp set sentiment in color fuse crimson to one of the layers of the cake.
• Step 5 Assemble the cake and arrange flowers on and below the cake. Add foam tape behind the cake and flowers for dimension.
• Color fuse sets were used: color fuse set #3, color fuse set #4, color fuse set #10, and color fuse set #12.
