BBTB2 Celebrations Cake

This week's cut at BBTB2 was chosen by our fabulous DT member Carole.  She's fantastic and I get so much inspiration from her designs.  Carole asked us to use the cake on page 99 of the Celebrations cartridge manual.  I used my Gypsy to attach the cake cut to a rectangle for a stand up shape card.  I cut the base from kraft cardstock, used a darker brown for the cake stand and the patterned cake paper was printed with my Cricut Imagine Best Friends cartridge.  I loved the stripes on the paper and thought it looked like cake layers. Making this card reminded me of when I used to decorate cakes years ago and making the sugar roses to go on the top of the cake.  In this case, I used paper roses.  I cut the word celebrate using the Wild card cartridge.

I simply LOVE those paper roses. I have to figure out how to make those. I like how you put it on a stand and made it a shaped card.
